AS China imposed export restrictions on silver from January 1/26, concerns grow over a looming supply crunch. Analysts warn that China’s move—combined with COMEX, the New York-based commodity trading house, raising margin requirements—signals market manipulation to suppress prices artificially.
Cairns News sponsors and financial advisers Freedom Financial Solutions have been watching this silver market closely in recent months and alerted us following a recent dramatic drop in the price.
Freedom FFS will be holding an online seminar focusing on gold and silver on January 14th from 12.30pm NSW time with a group question and answer session.
Silver prices plunged nearly 10% in a single day after COMEX hiked margin requirements to $25,000 per contract (each representing 5000 ounces).
“However, prices rebounded quickly in Asian markets, suggesting industrial demand remains strong,” observers noted.
China meanwhile, has been quietly stockpiling silver, paying premiums to secure supply directly from miners—bypassing Western exchanges. Meanwhile, Shanghai silver prices trade $4 higher per ounce than COMEX, incentivizing arbitrage traders to buy cheap Western silver and sell high in China.
“Experts predict COMEX may soon impose contract limits—forcing industrial buyers to panic-purchase elsewhere, triggering a price surge. Investors are urged to secure physical silver before supply tightens further,” observers said.
Cairns News contributor Janine Bird believes “Asian Guy” is a “white-hat creation”, ie the work of investors who have been exposing the shonky tactics of the big paper players at the Comex.
“There are too many videos going up in too short a time for one person to do with that depth, but ‘he’ goes into how it works what happens behind the scenes,” she told Cairns News.
“I like Bix Weir too on all this, but this ‘guy’ (video above) is prolific and pretty much on the money. “
She says the video explains the difference between silver paper contracts (crash and calls) and the physical metal in light of the little dip which was all about paper – and what China is doing.
Bix Weir has predicted silver prices as high as US$600 an ounce and describes official prices quoted by COMEX as fake.
1 oz silver coin 99.99% pure in 2020 = $25.00
1 oz silver coin 99.99% pure in 2025 = $135.00
The 1 oz silver piece has stayed the same. But the value of the A$ has crashed by > 500% in 5 years. It’s called HYPERINFLATION, Weimar style.
Stand by for the Greater Than The Great Depression followed by WW3 to bring in the Reset where WE will own nothing and somebody will own everything. It’s called rebuilding better. We’ve been told we need to do that by plenty of snake oil merchants feeding us their political poison. The poison they reckon we have to have, so to speak.

I mentioned leading into Jan 1. for every 356 paper ounces issued to the plebs the banksters hold only one ounce of physical silver.
Since then the banksters have been extremely busy, blatantly manipulating the spot price of silver on COMEX by issuing more paper to drive the price lower.
Today, 365 now reads 374.
When the Shanghai Futures Exchange opened after their new year break on Jan 5., the difference in price between the two exchanges was around USD 10 per ounce, unheard of as historically no more than a couple of bucks.
The price of silver in China is driven by the needs of manufacturers, a fair indicator.
No mention in the article below that bankster JP Morgan is financing the joint venture.
One tomahawk missile is said to contain around 500 ounces of silver; crucial in its high energy silver-zinc batteries and electrical components, for its warhead to hit targets.
Silver is a strategic asset: The war on silver is about to ramp up and banksters will continue to print paper silver to manipulate the price by selling sell it to who knows; at the end of its travel it could end up being written off as a loss, recycled as dunny rolls or data drops lost in the clouds.

People who say that silver ends the fed. Buying precious metals only benefits the seller and the producers: Jewish owned mining companies, and Jewish backed mints/currency exchanges. Btw remember to register your gold purchase with the government and ATO you pathetic goyim. I hope a machete wielding Indigenous Australian pays you a visit at night and steals all your gold/silver as reparations for colonization. And you won’t be able to anything about it as you were disarmed after the Bondi false flag.
Don’t like it? Vote harder in the next election. Hahhaa absolutely pathetic.
Aussies = bovine.
