China’s "Export Brake" is Now a Total Ban: The Silver Supply Chain Just Broke

Описание: SILVER SUPPLY CHAIN ALERT (2026): THE “EXPORT BRAKE” JUST GOT REAL

On January 1, 2026, China’s Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) tightened silver exports under a stricter license-by-license approval system—plus a narrow “approved exporter” list that limits who can ship metal abroad. Now, procurement desks are reporting slower approvals for Western tech orders, and that’s how a “soft pause” can act like a shutdown in a just-in-time world.

In this video, we break down what this means for AI hardware, solar, EVs, and the silver price—and why the market is drifting toward a two-price world: paper quotes vs the real cost to secure physical metal.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

Why export licensing = time control, not just volume control

The 44-company chokepoint and how it changes delivery risk

Why N-type solar and advanced electronics make silver non-optional

How a physical premium can stay elevated even when paper markets whip around

What to watch this week: premiums, spreads/lease tightness, inventory trends, and delivery lead times

The practical “reality check” for investors: availability risk can move faster than charts

WHO THIS IMPACTS

Solar manufacturers (silver paste / conductive ink risk)

Semiconductor & packaging supply chains (conductivity + thermal pathways)

EV and charging systems (high-reliability electrical connections)

THE BIG QUESTION
If approvals slow for weeks—not months—does industry start paying whatever it takes for immediate delivery?
