Demand for Silver Going up in China

If you have read this post, you will know that the Shanghai premiums to London gold prices are a proxy for higher demand for gold in China. Because when the premium shoots up, the demand in Shanghai shoots up too. Compare the two charts yourself.

Now, we can also do the same for silver. Look at the silver premium chart between Shanghai and London below. I do not even need to know how much the Chinese demand is for silver, because the silver premiums speak for themselves. We call this "the power of deduction".







And these peaks in silver premiums magically coincide with a drainage in the SLV trust. Let's see what happens next, will SLV be drained too in the same manner as GLD?

Platinum, palladium and rhodium have all been moving higher and I expect them to go higher as China is loading more palladium and rhodium in their vehicles.

The company has no net debt. Net earnings were $1 billion per year in 2020, but is expected to rise 66% on higher rhodium/platinum prices and higher production numbers. Earnings per share are expected to be at $3.52 per share, which gives Sibanye-Stillwater a P/E of 4.8 which is very cheap. On top of thi...

The Consequences of Brexit

On June 24th, 2016, Britain voted to leave the EU. The immediate reaction was an 8% plunge in the Nikkei, financials dropped between 10-30%, negative bond yields went even more negative and gold surged 8%.
