"China's control over the global silver bullion market is significant, and it is poised to counter US energy strategies with its own moves in silver, suggesting a bullish outlook for the market."
"In March 2025, China imported over 800 tons of silver, more than double its previous high, indicating a robust demand that is challenging inventory levels."
"The Shanghai Futures Exchange's inventory issues, coupled with strong physical purchase prices, suggest that panic buying could lead to a significant increase in silver prices."
China's geopolitical rivalry with the US has led to a strategic focus on silver as a countermeasure against US control over oil suppliers. In 2025, physical silver demand surged, and China significantly increased its silver imports, surpassing previous records. The Shanghai Futures Exchange faced inventory challenges due to high demand, prompting increased margin requirements and a buying spree. Despite price manipulation in futures markets, physical silver prices remain strong, indicating a potential bull run for silver-related stocks and ETFs in 2026.
