What really happened to gold and silver? 📉🪙

In a month and a half, the CME exchange 📊 raised margin requirements for silver four times — a total increase of almost 80% ⚠️

Traders had to constantly add money 💸 to maintain their positions.

At some point, most were unable to do this ❌ — mass liquidations 🔥 began, which dragged the market down ⬇️

Similar crashes with the same mechanics have occurred in 1980 and 2011 🕰️

🔎 But beyond the mechanics, geopolitics has entered the game:

🇨🇳 China currently controls 60–70% of the world's silver processing

and as of January 1, 2026 🗓️ recognized it as a strategic resource 🛡️

🇺🇸 And for the US, it is important that metals remain cheap and controlled

because dollars can be printed at any moment 🖨️💵

but precious metals cannot ❗🪙

📌 The conclusion is simple:

📉 Short-term — the market fell due to mechanics and leverage

📈 Long-term — metals are becoming part of the struggle for real resources 🌍⚔️

And this tension will not go away 🔒
