I find it curious how:

1. Silver price slams in February seem to occur more often during Eastern trading hours, unlike in the past few months
2. SGE/SHFE silver inventory is reportedly depleting to amounts that could disappear within days/weeks
3. CNY holiday starts next week
When the West mega-slammed silver last Friday, I suspect the shockwave prompted a subset of investors in the East to sell, with the fear that their premium spot prices are going to fall towards the prices in the West.

Previous slams have been negligible in the past few months… https://t.co/C5E8CtTSVH
