As I predicted before, silver is having a breakout these days. And the evidence is piling up. One of the evidences of a bullish scenario is the silver stock at the CME.
As you can see on chart 1, the silver stock at the CME is declining, ever since Eric Sprott did his PSLV offering of $US 200 million on the market on 12 July 2012. I predict that registered silver will start to decline soon (blue dots).
Once the silver price breaks the $US 30/ounce level, it's off to the races.

The decline in CME stocks might not be attributable to decling supply or any fundamental change in the silver market. Rather, CME stocks may be migrating to China, following the trend set by copper over the past few years.

When interest rates remain low and declining, that is a sign that investors have expect inflation to follow the same pattern. Since silver is a hedge against inflation, the price of silver is likely to remain below $28/oz.
Hello, thanks for pointing that out. Do you know why it is being migrated to China?
VerwijderenSince China is the largest consumer of silver for industrial purposes, and since the Chinese economy is is still enjoying robust output growth, silver inventory must be growing. CME stocks maybe declining, but that does not necessarily mean world socks are going down.
