Is a COMEX Silver failure approaching? Silver has been volatile... new highs, sharp pullbacks, and rising speculation about silver market manipulation. But beneath the price swings, something more structural may be unfolding. UK analyst Clive Thompson argues that the COMEX silver market is experiencing unusually high physical delivery demand, not just in major delivery months, but even during smaller ones. Registered silver inventories have fallen below 100 million ounces. Lease rates have surged. Open interest behavior has shifted.
Is this normal futures market mechanics, or the early signs of a system under stress?
In this video, we break down:
- What COMEX actually is and how silver futures contracts work
- The difference between registered and eligible silver
- Why rising physical delivery demand matters
- Whether open interest truly signals delivery intent
- What would happen if exchanges invoked force majeure
- How margin hikes and rule changes can reshape markets
- Why lease rates and global silver inventories matter
- Whether this is routine volatility, or something bigger
This isn’t fear-driven speculation. It’s a step-by-step examination of structure, incentives, and risk. Even if the next delivery month passes quietly, the broader trend tells us something important: physical silver is being treated differently than it was just a year ago. Paper markets function on confidence. The real question is what happens if that confidence shifts.
If this type of breakdown adds value, consider liking and subscribing. And I’d genuinely like to hear your perspective... do you think COMEX is facing a real stress test, or is this simply normal futures market behavior?
