4/ Why?
Because the market is quietly admitting something:
➡️ Silver is becoming more strategically important than oil.
Energy is the bloodstream.
Silver is the nervous system.
One can be replaced.
The other CANNOT.
5/ Look at the fundamentals:
• Solar demand = record
• EV demand = record
• Semiconductor demand = record
• Medical + industrial use = record
• Mine CAPEX = worst in 15 years
• 75% of supply = by-product
• Inventories = vanishing
• East = absorbing every physical ounce
6/ If 1 oz of silver buys more barrels of oil than at any time since the 1970s…
…that means one thing:
➡️ The world has TOO LITTLE SILVER.
Not on COMEX.
Not in ETFs.
In the REAL WORLD.
7/ And here’s the killer:
Every previous spike in the silver–oil ratio was followed by a massive move in silver.
Not sometimes.
Not occasionally.
EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
8/ People talk about “undervaluation” like it’s a meme.
But this?
This isn’t a meme.
This is the hardest industrial signal since the 1970s telling you:
🥈 Silver is dramatically mispriced.
🛢️ Energy is cheap relative to silver.
🌍 The system is shifting.
9/ If you think this ends quietly, you’re dreaming.
Markets don’t ignore signals like this.
Not when the metal with the tightest physical deficit in the entire G7 supply chain is outperforming ENERGY itself.
10/ The silver–oil ratio is whispering a truth the mainstream refuses to say out loud:
➡️ Silver is no longer a precious metal.
It’s a strategic resource.
And the world is running out of it.
THREAD: China just added more fuel under silver 🔥🇨🇳
1️⃣ SHFE silver up +3.07% today
Price pushed to ¥14,488/kg (~$63.83/oz) — China is chasing physical while the West still debates if $60 silver is “too high.”
2️⃣ Vaults keep rising
• SHFE daily change: +38,755 kg
• SGE weekly change: +6,150 kg
China keeps pulling metal into the system — and it’s happening in the middle of a global squeeze.
Big on paper.
Tiny for China’s industrial machine.
You can move that much metal with a handful of trucks.
So where did it really come from?
3/ Spoiler:
It’s almost certainly not new supply.
❌ Not from miners — new mine output takes 3–6 months to reach a vault.
❌ Not from imports — no RMB price reaction, no premium shift, no matching signals.
Meaning:
This is reclassification, not “fresh silver”.
