🧵The Liquidity Picture Nobody Wants to Talk About
Something really odd is happening right now.

On the surface, markets act like everything is under control.

But the underlying data tells a very different story.
Two things line up almost perfectly:👇 Image
1) The RRP facility is basically empty
Not long ago, it held $2.4 trillion.

Today? Around $1.5 billion.

That’s not a “normal adjustment” — that’s the system running without its safety buffer.

When the backstop is gone, the financial engine is exposed.

This isn’t theory or speculation.

It’s the clearest sign of tightening liquidity we’ve seen in more than a decade.
2) Yet markets still think the Fed won’t cut in December

FedWatch shows roughly 55% expecting no change.

That alone says a lot:

the market is still clinging to the “higher for longer” narrative.

But that narrative doesn’t match what’s happening underneath.

Zero excess liquidity and elevated rates simply don’t coexist for long.

History is very consistent here — when liquidity dries up, the system chooses its own path.Image
3) And here’s the part that matters for stackers
None of this shocks us.

We’ve been watching the plumbing, not the headlines.
Real money always tells the truth sooner than policymakers do.

Stackers aren’t waiting for an official announcement or a press conference.

We’ve already connected the dots:

a system without liquidity will eventually force easier policy, and when that moment comes, hard assets stop being “alternatives” — they become the foundation.
4) So hold steady.

Stay focused.

If anything, the last few months have only confirmed why we stack in the first place.

The crowd reacts late.
Stackers prepare early.
And preparation is never a mistake.

Everyone keeps asking: Why December 31?
Because that’s the day the LBMA can’t hide behind “paper silver” anymore.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth:

1) Year-end is the physical reconciliation window
Every December 31 the LBMA has to match:

physical inventory
client allocations

ETF redemptions

leasing obligations

forward contracts

metal loan rollovers

Most of the year, the system is opaque.
But year-end forces transparency — at least internally.

If the metal isn’t there, it becomes visible on this date.
2) China is draining global silver at a rate the LBMA cannot replace SGE/SHFE withdrawals of 40–50 tons per week are unprecedented.

At this pace, hundreds of tons vanish every month.
Western vaults cannot refill at the same speed.
Refineries are already running near capacity.

ETF outflows are the last safety valve — and even that is thinning out.

By December 31, if the physical gap is too large, the LBMA hits a wall.
3) December = ETF rebalancing + vault audits + settlement pressure

This is when:
SLV must prove physical backing

banks must verify allocated metal

auditors demand documentation

unallocated positions must be justified

COMEX/LBMA spreads tighten

If LBMA vaults can’t show enough metal, the system can’t roll smoothly into 2026.

🧵 Thread: The Silver Tug-of-War Nobody Is Ready For

1️⃣
Japan just detonated a global bomb.
A 2.75% yield on the 20-year JGB is a signal:
the world’s cheap-money era is OVER.

Liquidity is tightening everywhere — and the margin calls are just starting.

Prepare yourselves

2️⃣
So let’s talk #SILVER.

Because what’s coming is a brutal tug-of-war between:
paper manipulation
vs.
real-world physical fundamentals
…and the ending will not be a draw.
3️⃣
On the paper side?
blatant price suppression

leveraged futures

forced selling during liquidity stress

margin calls hitting funds and banks across the board

This can temporarily push the price down, even when demand is exploding.

THREAD: Japan Just Broke the Global Money Machine — Here’s What It Means 🧵🌍

1/
Japan’s 10-year bond yield just hit 1.73% — the highest since 2008.
Most people don’t realize it, but this number can shake the entire world economy.

Here’s why. 👇 Image
2/
For 30 years, Japan kept interest rates at 0% and printed money endlessly.
That cheap money was exported everywhere:

• US Treasuries
• European bonds
• Emerging markets
• Global stock markets

Japan was the world’s “silent buyer.”
3/
Now that Japanese yields are rising, everything changes.
When yields go up, Japanese investors stop buying foreign debt and start pulling money back home.

This is already happening.

🔥 THREAD: China Just Sounded the Silver Alarm (Nov 17, 2025)

1/
China’s SGE/SHFE silver vaults just hit another all-time low.

Not “low for the month.”

Not “seasonally low.”

A record low.

Physical supply is getting dangerously tight.
2/
Western media?

Silent.

But inside China?

Refineries are now working 24 hours a day, and import companies are pressuring Western suppliers to deliver physical silver on time — or face contractual consequences.
3/
Today’s report shows a brutal number:

–47,715 kg (–47.7 tonnes) drained in a single week.
That’s not “normal.”

That is a structural shortage accelerating.

China is quietly draining its silver vaults.
If the current pace holds, exchange stocks hit zero in about 2 months.

Not a slogan – just math from SGE/SHFE’s own reports. 👇 #silver Image
2️⃣

Start of the period (late September 2025):

• SHFE vaults: ~1,189,648 kg
Mid-November 2025:
• SHFE vaults: 576,894 kg

That’s a drawdown of –612,754 kg in 46 days – roughly 13 tonnes per day just from the futures exchange.
3️⃣

Spot side (SGE weekly vaults):

• Late September: 1,216,965 kg
• Early November: 822,420 kg

Drawdown: –394,545 kg in about six weeks.
That’s another ~9 tonnes per day leaving visible inventories.

🧵 THE SYSTEM IS STRAINING — AND SILVER KNOWS IT

(Grand Thread for Silverstackers)

1️⃣
When the New York Fed quietly convenes an emergency meeting with Wall Street banks to discuss a key lending facility, it means one thing:

👉 Liquidity is cracking.

Not “in theory.” Not “sometime later.”
Now.

Even the Fed admits money markets are tightening faster than expected.

2️⃣
Why does this matter?
Because when the Fed has to remind banks to use its Standing Repo Facility, it means the institutions prefer to borrow at higher rates in the market rather than tap the Fed.

That only happens when banks are:

✅stressed

✅unsure who’s solvent

✅or scared of revealing weakness

This is how cracks look from the inside.
3️⃣
And just as the Fed is scrambling, Deutsche Bank sounds the alarm:

“Diverging equity and credit markets signal potential instability.”

When stocks and credit decouple, it means one thing:

👉 The market is lying about risk.
Credit sees reality.
Equities pretend it’s all fine.

This divergence has preceded every major crisis of the last 25 years.
