Something massive just snapped in the global silver market — and China may be the reason why. Economist Alasdair MacLeod warns that Beijing’s quiet decision to restrict silver exports could trigger a chain reaction that exposes the weakness of the COMEX paper-silver system and permanently change how precious metals are valued worldwide.
From the U.S. to Switzerland and Australia, bullion dealers report being overwhelmed by buy orders. Physical silver is vanishing, lease rates are exploding, and short sellers are trapped. Meanwhile, China — famous for its “Hotel California” approach to gold — is now doing the same with silver: metal goes in, but never comes out.
MacLeod explains that this isn’t just another price spike. It’s the beginning of a structural shift away from paper assets and toward real, tangible wealth — just as BRICS nations accelerate de-dollarization and global trade realignment. As gold surges to new highs, silver could soon follow in a dramatic revaluation few are prepared for.
