It's crazy how far away we are to $50 usd given the circumstances. The changes made to Comex position limits in 2011 has been a big factor in this suppression, along with a clear intention to utilise above-ground stockpiles to manage the price. Anyone who holds the view that the POS was/is not manipulated needs to get their head checked. But ultimately, the management of the price in a market with yearly deficits has all come down to available aboveground stockpiles.
We've finally broke through the $26 usd resistance. If it holds and becomes a strong support, we can see $30 usd being tested. If we break through, then there isn't much in the way between $30 and $50.
I don't really care about the price because I don't intend to sell but I do care about the perception of value as we move forward. In AUD terms, we are just around the corner from the ATH in silver. It looks like we may have some exciting times ahead and I'll be watching the markets closely with you all.
