Didn’t they also increase the margins LAST THURSDAY on the eve of the HUGE fall on Friday?? Are they about to pull the plug on retail again tomorrow??
Time will tell.
Add the 20dma to both the spot Silver and Gold charts going back two years.
The price deviates around this metric.
Is it reliable? So far so good.
Let me get this right – wholesale/refiner and bullion dealers are moving to futures pricing (paper), lower than physical (kitco) at the moment, which is in turn forcing LCS retail to price based on this (or what my LCS calls ‘hybrid’ pricing). Trading view and other platforms moved to futures pricing months ago (NOT COINCIDENCE – this was BEFORE the supply stress in London/India). And recently margin requirements are being raised repeatedly. All actions point to a coordinated effort to supplanting/suppress the REAL price of physical metal with notional (futures).
So long as people don’t part with their physical, this confidence game should only get worse for them.
