How on earth is silver doing at $65?!

Who’s buying all the silver?

Copper prices are also surging, with China accounting for approximately 60% of global imports.

Used for power stations?

And then gold closed above USD$4500… looks like both gold and silver are going to close higher by end of 2025 at this rate it is heading.

With PRC buying up loads of silver, used for chips?

Would silver hit $80 by 31 Dec 2025?

An armed conflict in Taiwan Straits is the most urgent geopolitical threat in 2H25.
…

Odds are moving in your favor.

But my views remain- PRC is always posturing, even with the upcoming military exercises around Taiwan, PRC will not bother to attack Taiwan until Taiwan declares her independence.

Territorial Waters Incursion: Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense (MND) and international reports indicate that certain designated live-fire zones for this exercise have "encroached into Taiwanese territorial waters" (within 12 nautical miles) for the first time since 2022.
Did a second PM adopt the TACO meme?
Stand by word or statement but not by ACTION

The ongoing PLA blockade simulations are partly in response to Takaichi’s remarks. These drills followed the Trump administration's approval of a record-breaking $11.1 billion arms package for Taiwan in mid-December 2025, which includes Javelins, drones, and HIMARS. The exercises have caused significant disruptions and are intended to showcase the PLA's ability to leave the US and Japan "feeling helpless" by isolating the island. Trump has downplayed the situation, describing it as routine rather than an imminent invasion threat.

Guess which one is Taiwan

If such a large-scale sexercise had occurred in the '90s, I assume the US would have simply steered two carriers through the Taiwan Strait, and it might have been halted immediately as what had happened in the '93 incident.

Once beaten twice shy is not in PRC's book. I don't expect sinkies to understand.

China's military exercises appear increasingly threatening to Taiwan each day, yet Japan remains silent, despite the former Prime Minister's statement pledging to defend Taiwan in the event of an attack.

It's 31 Dec 2025, 1410 now and we have until 2359 to see if real action will finally happen.

Might disappoint you, but it's only a two-day sexercise that's already been finished. Left with some section and coastal patrol vessels.

So silver traded over USD$80 momentarily but closes below $80 circa 29 Dec.

Restrictions on silver exports from China starts today.
