Silver Shock After CME Outage — Was a Shortage Exposed? | Andy Schectman & Alasdair Macleod

A sudden CME outage struck the precious-metals markets at the exact moment massive silver delivery requests were hitting COMEX — and analysts are questioning whether this exposed a deeper physical shortage. Silver has been surging, inventories are tightening, and global trading hubs are seeing unprecedented withdrawal levels. This video breaks down whether the outage occurred during a critical stress event — and if a major silver shortage is finally coming to the surface.

According to expert analysts Andy Schectman and Alasdair Macleod, recent delivery spikes, collapsing open interest, shrinking LBMA inventories, and persistent backwardation all point to a structural imbalance between physical silver and the paper markets used to price it. At the same time, Shanghai continues draining physical metal at historic rates while Western vaults show accelerating declines. These data points suggest the physical market may be exerting pressure that the derivatives system can no longer mask.

This analysis explores how the outage aligned with intense COMEX delivery demand, why physical silver is being pulled out of vaults worldwide, and what this shift could mean for future gold and silver pricing. If you track market stress indicators, global liquidity issues, or the growing divergence between physical and paper precious metals, this is an essential update on a rapidly unfolding situation.

Stay informed as the precious-metals landscape enters a new phase and physical demand begins reshaping global pricing dynamics.
