TL;DR— Silver Supply Chain Risks

  • Demand displacement, not destruction: Demand falls when access, pricing, or market mechanics break down, even though underlying desire to buy remains. This can be temporary or become structural if disruptions persist.

  • Two failures at once: Gold faces volatility-driven demand displacement as options become unusable; silver is developing physical supply-chain displacement due to refinery bottlenecks, cash constraints, and inventory breakdowns.

  • Market consequence: With risk-transfer tools impaired and physical channels blocked, participation drops, prices grow unstable with fat tails, and speculative positions are exited. Markets are already pricing this as current, not hypothetical.
