This is a Serious Warning! If You Own Silver, Watch This Now- Clive Thompson

Описание: A metal once taken for granted has quietly become a pillar of national security. After being designated a critical mineral by the United States in November 2025, silver is now officially recognized as essential to solar panels, semiconductors, defence systems, electronics, and the auto industry. U.S. government modelling warned that a disruption in supply particularly from Mexico could inflict enough economic damage to materially impact GDP. With roughly 70% of U.S. silver imported and more than half of that coming from Mexico, the supply chain is highly concentrated and structurally vulnerable.
Clive Thompson explains that recent events in Mexico have transformed this theoretical risk into an unfolding crisis. The kidnapping and murder of employees linked to Vizsla Silver in Concordia, Sinaloa, sparked widespread alarm across the country’s silver mining sector. Cartels are reportedly targeting mining operations for protection payments, while theft risks during transport have surged. Companies are facing rising security costs, struggling to retain geologists and engineers, and in some cases are shipping unrefined ore instead of high-value silver bars to reduce theft risk. What was once manageable insecurity has escalated into serious operational strain.
Clive Thompson further highlights that military escalation between the Mexican government and cartels has intensified the crisis, directly impairing metal transport routes. Refined silver bars most vulnerable to theft are now difficult to insure or ship safely. Deliveries into CME and COMEX vaults are slowing just as physical supply is needed to meet futures market demand. The scenario U.S. authorities had warned about an interruption in Mexican silver exports is now unfolding in real time, with potential consequences for tightening supply, rising premiums, and broader implications for industrial users and financial markets.
