Silver Hits a Limit Halt Near $98: What a COMEX Freeze Would Reveal About Paper vs Physical Metal

Описание: Description ;

What does it really mean when silver futures hit a limit and trading pauses—especially near a headline level like $98?

In this documentary-style breakdown, we walk through how a modern silver “freeze” can happen, why the paper price (futures) can disconnect from the physical price (real bars and coins), and what market structure stress looks like when liquidity disappears. We’ll cover the mechanics behind COMEX limit halts, why only a small portion of futures contracts ever result in delivery, and how warehouse inventory, short positioning, and margin calls can amplify volatility.

We also connect the dots to the bigger picture: industrial demand (solar, electrification, electronics), refining bottlenecks, geopolitical supply risks, and the role of precious metals in a world of high debt and ongoing monetary expansion.

Finally, you’ll get clear, actionable takeaways—including what to watch in inventory data, how to avoid leverage traps, and how to think about counterparty risk if markets shift to cash settlement during stress.
