Since a month ago, China's SHFE warehouse at Zhongchu Wusong has seen a relentless increase in silver stock. We are getting new all time highs every week. This could be due to a lot of reasons that I don't know of: Chinese stockpiling, oversupply of silver, etc...
One thing that I do know is that this is historically correlated to the silver price. So I expect a huge rise in silver price to close this gap.
