đš Huge Discrepancy Alert:
Silver $XAG is trading around $128/oz in Shanghai đđđ
So why is the Shanghai silver price so far above the global market?
Hereâs the breakdown đ
1ïžâŁ Explosive Physical Demand in China
China is the worldâs largest silver consumer, driven by massive industrial usage â especially in solar panels (PV), electronics, batteries, and 5G/advanced tech manufacturing. This isnât paper demand â itâs demand for real, deliverable metal.
2ïžâŁ Physical Scarcity Premium
Shanghai prices reflect immediate delivery demand. When industrial buyers need silver now, futures pricing becomes secondary. High demand + tight supply = local scarcity, and scarcity creates price premiums â exactly what weâre seeing in Shanghai.
3ïžâŁ Paper vs Physical Disconnect
Western markets largely price silver through paper contracts and derivatives. Shanghai pricing is more sensitive to physical flows, inventory levels, and industrial urgency. When physical demand surges, Shanghai moves first â and aggressively.
This divergence is a warning signal.
When physical markets start breaking away from paper pricing, re-pricing events tend to follow.
đ The big question:
Does $XAG push toward $150 this quarter?
If the physical squeeze continues and industrial demand stays hot, that scenario is no longer extreme â itâs plausible.
