@dons_korea 핵심은 조달 비용(Funding Cost)입니다. 조달 비용이 5.375%에서 3.875%로 떨어진 상황이 아니라, 3.875%에서 3.625% 수준으로 움직였다는 점을 봐야 합니다. 이로 인해 작년의 네거티브 캐리(역마진)와 달리 지금은 포지티브 캐리(정마진) 환경이 조성되었습니다.

JPM played the savior:
"We’ll hedge your risk. We'll buy at a fixed price."

Who is making money?
1. China (Physical assets in Mexico)
2. JPM (Controlling US mine supply)
Then, the squeeze began.

Miners' earnings crashed.
Why? The Super-Strong Peso.
Silver is priced in USD, but costs are in Peso. FX losses destroyed margins.
Meanwhile, Q2 2024: JPM steps in.
They lent to top US silver miners ($HL, $CDE), taking everything (even physical stock) as collateral.
