China Closes for 8 Days Starting Tomorrow — Gold & Silver Liquidity Freeze?

Описание: If you feel like something unusual is about to happen in the precious metals market, you are not imagining it.

Starting tomorrow, China — the world’s largest physical buyer of gold and a dominant force in silver demand — closes for eight straight days. That means no Shanghai participation, no local price discovery, and a temporary pause in one of the most important liquidity hubs in global metals trading.

This is not a minor holiday.

This is a temporary liquidity vacuum.

In this urgent market breakdown, we dissect what an 8-day shutdown from China historically does to gold and silver volatility. We explain how the absence of Asian bid support can create exaggerated futures moves in Western markets — and why thin liquidity conditions often lead to sharp price swings.

We analyze what happens when Shanghai premiums disconnect from COMEX pricing, and why spreads between paper and physical markets can widen during extended closures. We also examine whether this creates opportunity… or hidden risk.

Is this a short-term liquidity freeze?

Or the setup for a breakout once China reopens?

In this video, we cover:
