Silver: The Shortage Story Splits in Two
🔹Physical silver shortage hits London, and it’s getting serious.
🔹Lease rates in London have exploded to 39%, a full-blown panic signal.
🔹If banks can’t find the metal, they’ll be forced to buy back futures or deliver actual silver - both actions that could ignite a violent price surge.
In India, the crunch is different.
🔹It’s not a hedging blow-up, it’s a demand–supply squeeze.
🔹Imports are restricted till Mar’26. Silver ETFs trade at premiums. Jewelers and refiners are running low on stock. Dealers are rationing deliveries.
So globally, we’re watching:
🔹London’s paper silver crisis
🔹India’s physical scarcity + policy bottleneck
🔹Different causes, same consequence - tightness in physical silver that can reprice the entire market.
Don't know Hal Turner from Ted Turner, but the line about "Australia Mint" is bogus. There is no such thing as "Australia mint". I guess they mean "(an) Australian mint", but they couldn't even proof read their copy?
In any case, Perth Mint seems to be selling just as usual.

They do seem to be out of stock on a lot of things, but it doesn't quite seem like "fully suspended all sales of silver products. Not a single coin or bar leaves the facility".
u wat m8, there is very much a australia mint https://www.ramint.gov.au/
the royal australia mint is the official mint of australia and produces most of its coinage, they also sell gold and silver coins, sadly their site is so back logged atm you have to join a queue to even see the shop so i cant see if silver is still available
It's the "Royal Australian Mint" not "Australia Mint".
So, its either 'an Australian mint' or "The Royal Australian Mint". There is no "Australia mint".
Um, no.
Again, no.
Royal Australian Mint? Yes.
