Behind the Changes in Futures Exchanges: Can the Silver Short Sellers Really Escape?

Margin requirements, on the surface, are meant to manage market volatility, but industry insiders see clearly—this is actually buying time for the struggling short positions. An analyst who successfully predicted two financial crises bluntly pointed out that this is a naked "rescue operation."

The issue hits close to home: when exchanges raise margin requirements, is it really just risk management? Or are they easing restrictions for those deeply shorting silver, whose positions are about to be crushed by physical shortages?

Her judgment is—these measures can't stop the rise in silver prices. Physical inventories have long been in a state of scarcity, with only 22,000 tons left in London vaults, and all parties are fighting over this stock. Even more intense is that the US and EU now classify silver as a strategic mineral, turning supply competition from a commercial issue into a matter of national security.

This is different from the Hunt brothers' saga in history. Back then, it was about market monopoly; now? Capital from all sides is bottom-fishing, especially before certain regions shut off exports. Smart money has long shifted from simply buying gold to hunting for silver—that's a real happening.

Her target price is $200 per ounce. Short-term corrections? Just see it as a long-term buying opportunity.
