@svembu Mr. Vembu, I believe you should stick to your area of expertise because you clearly haven’t the slightest idea as to how much a re election costs. The audacity of these tech billionaires to pontificate is unbelievable.

Over the next 10 days, there are two scenarios for #silver at the #Comex.
1. Servers shut off, force customers to cash settle in private. (Stealth FM)
2. US Govt announces silver price floor, Comex declares FM, and tells its customers to come back at the new price.
Your move
MSA's Michael Oliver Says "Silver Will Seek Out New Price Reality Between $300 and $500"
Once this violent congestion/pullback process ends.

#Silver has filled the liquidity gap around $73, which may indicate that large amounts of money are building long positions. (This does not mean that $73 will not be tested again.)
A bearish pattern with high volume formed on April 8, but it has not yet been broken.
Key price levels:
Bullish key price level: 78
Bearish key price level: 70
The price action this week will be revealed on Monday. A weak Monday could indicate insufficient upward momentum.
A strong break above 78.00 on Monday could signal a return to the uptrend, with a target price of 90.00 from March.
(These are personal opinions only and do not constitute investment advice.)
Let me remind everyone about what is the most important thing about Silver right now.
Its not war. Its not #oil.
The May contract on #silver at the #Comex has 350m oz of open interest while they have 76m oz in stock.
The exchange will be defaulting unless something changes.
3 weeks ago I argued the US goal in Iran is to seize the global oil spigot. Venezuela in January -> Iran in February.
Neutralize every supply channel outside the dollar system within 90 days. Achieve a compliant successor government and complete energy dominance.
The oil thesis was the obvious layer. However, when you zoom out & view the last four years as a single sequence rather than isolated geopolitical events, the architecture of the grander US plan becomes visible.
1st was Europe, which laid the groundwork.
The Ukraine conflict provided the justification for sanctions that collapsed Russian pipeline gas from 150 billion cubic meters to 40.
Then Nordstream was destroyed, which rewired the entire European energy system permanently. The US went from supplying 28% of Europe's LNG in 2021 to 58% by 2025, exporting a record 111 million MTs, the 1st country in history to break 100 MT.
Europe was transformed from a customer with options into a captive market now purchasing its survival in USD.
2nd was Syria.
The fall of Assad severed the critical node connecting China's Belt & Road Initiative to the Mediterranean.
The trilateral railway linking Iran, Iraq & Syria, designed to bypass Western maritime chokepoints, was completely destroyed.
This isolated Iran geographically & cleared the path for what came next.
3rd was Venezuela.
In January the US effectively took control of the world's largest heavy crude reserves. The US Gulf Coast has the most advanced refining complex on earth, specifically built for heavy sour crude. Phillips 66, Valero & the rest are now positioned to process hundreds of thousands of barrels of Venezuelan crude daily.
The US captured a massive strategic reserve & solidified its position as the dominant exporter of refined petroleum products, an industry worth $110 billion in 2025 alone.
Venezuela & Iran were the two major oil supply channels that existed outside the dollar system. Both produce heavy crude sold primarily to China & evaded US financial supervision. Both now being neutralized within 90 days, which leads us to..
4th is Iran & the Middle East energy shock.
Israel struck Iran's South Pars gas field, the world's largest natural gas reservoir. Iran retaliated against Qatar's Ras Laffan, the single largest LNG facility on earth, responsible for a fifth of global supply. QatarEnergy's own assessment is that 17% of export capacity is gone and recovery will take up to 5 years. The Strait of Hormuz is closed. European gas prices spiked 70%. Asian spot prices doubled.
The only remaining scaled supplier? The United States.
If Iran falls & a successor government is installed that the US controls or influences (the Delcy model described weeks ago) then roughly 40 to 45 million barrels per day of global production out of 103 million is effectively under US control. OPEC becomes irrelevant because the US coalition is now the marginal producer. Now add the gas dimension & it goes beyond oil.
This war is solidifying the petrodollar system as it evolves into a hybrid petro/LNG-dollar. The old system was built on Saudi crude priced in USD. The new system is built on American crude plus American gas from the Gulf Coast, with no alternative supplier of comparable scale. The dependency is deeper because LNG infrastructure requires long term contracts & regasification terminals that lock buyers into supply relationships for decades. Europe & the Pacific allies (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, etc.) cannot pivot away as there is nowhere left to pivot to. They're now locked into the US energy system.
The market confirms this. DXY went from 96 to 101. Gold down ~20% from its January all time high. Bitcoin down 20% on the year. Brent above $100. European & Asian institutions are liquidating precious metals and crypto to buy dollars because they need dollars to buy the only remaining scaled energy supply. The world is selling its gold to buy American energy in American currency. The dollar is now being weaponized through energy dependency.
The structural repricing is happening regardless of how the conflict resolves.
But the US grand strategy goes deeper..
Artificial intelligence is a physical industry. It runs on power and chips. Data centers require massive uninterrupted baseload electricity, primarily provided by natural gas. Semiconductor fabrication requires helium & rare earths.
By choking the Strait of Hormuz & crippling Middle Eastern LNG & helium production, the US is systematically degrading China's ability to power its data centers & fabricate semiconductors at scale.
The US is energy self sufficient, especially with newly captured Venezuelan reserves & expanding Gulf Coast capacity running on domestic gas.
On the other hand, China is import dependent & every joule it imports effectively now transits chokepoints the US Navy controls..
Iran was the Belt & Road's overland energy bypass, the corridor that allowed China to mitigate the Malacca Trap. With Iran neutralized that corridor is severed. China faces a world where its compute infrastructure competes for scraps on a depleted global LNG market, while American data centers run at full capacity on domestic energy.
Russia is next in the sequence. A post-war Iran reopening under US influence competes directly with Russia for the same refineries in China & India at lower cost. Iran's production costs are lower. Russia loses its last structural advantage in heavy crude & its economic lifeline. Additionally, under the Iran war cover, Ukraine has been opportunistically destroying Russian energy infrastructure & all signs point towards Russia being at the end of the line. The message from Washington becomes very simple: we dismantled two regimes in three months, your economy is about to get crushed, sign the Ukraine deal.
Then Trump sits down with Xi holding every card. Complete energy dominance. The hybrid petro/LNG-dollar fortified, Iran cleared, Russia cornered, & China facing the Malacca Trap fully closed with no remaining energy bypass.
Israel & the GCC are absorbing the kinetic cost of a conflict whose primary beneficiary, counter to the mainstream narrative, is actually America (First). Qatar offline for 5 years reprices the entire global gas market in favor of US exporters for the remainder of the decade. The Gulf states face years of rebuilding. Europe faces its 2nd energy crisis in four years.
Sure, the average American might face temporary moderate inflation & higher gas prices. But if you are the architect of the US empire & you view the rise of China & Chinese ASI as an existential winner takes all scenario, the collateral damage is acceptable cost.
Whoever controls the energy corridors controls the monetary system. Whoever controls the monetary system & the energy supply simultaneously controls the compute infrastructure that determines which civilization builds ASI first.
The US is seizing all 3.
$SILVER: The silver price moved earlier this week from a support zone that is now well below the current chart into the resistance region between USD 87.17 and USD 92.78. From there, the market pulled back again toward the micro support area.
During this decline, price tested the 61.8 % retracement near USD 81.39 before turning slightly higher. The market moved modestly higher again yesterday and is now trading roughly in the middle of the current sideways range.
If the market continues to show strength, the move higher could represent the orange C-wave of the larger wave 2, consistent with the structure discussed in recent updates. In that scenario, price could move toward the USD 89.77 region.
However, if the market breaks below the orange support zone in the coming week, the probability of a deeper decline would increase. Such a move would open the door to a move toward the USD 70 region or potentially lower within the broader corrective structure.
Note the price BoA and JP Morgan will pay to take possession of physical silver. That's $1 more than the current COMEX price. Everyone knows the COMEX price is fake and silver will be selling for more next month so BoA and JP Morgan will take possession of silver now at a higher price rather than buy options on silver. The reason is if the COMEX runs out of physical silver their options would be paid in cash just when the silver price is getting ready to hit new ATH. They want physical silver.
📣📣 SILVER IS THE FUSE THAT IMPLODES THE SYSTEM ⏰️💣💣🔥
You can only suppressed the price for so long before it triggers 💣💣
The price setting scheme that has been used for 50 years is coming to an end.
If the US and UK won't enforce rules LBMA, CRIMEX, CME Shanghai is doing it.
The Shanghai futures is banning market participants from trading.
India is leaving the LBMA and monetizing Silver and Gold April 1st 2026
THE WORLD HAS HAD ENOUGH OF THE CORRUPTION
