One Way to Position for the Next Silver Squeeze

 

It was three weeks ago when the December Silver futures peaked at $53.76, when your typical Friday profit-taking kicked into high gear. The explosive move over $50 just five days before served as a wake-up call to speculators looking for some action. Behind the scenes, a physical silver shortage in the London market contributed to the peak, with borrowing rates spiking due to rising physical-backed ETF demand and a consumer shift from Gold to Silver in India. Relief occurred when shipments of Silver from the US and China helped ease this tightness, contributing to the dramatic decline with Silver off 9.86% from its 52-week high.

While a 10% correction is never enjoyable, these short-term fluctuations are part of the market’s dynamics and not indicative of a change in the strong underlying fundamentals of the silver market.

 

The long-term outlook for Silver remains strong, and the core fundamentals driving its rally remain intact, primarily due to a persistent supply deficit that has persisted for five years, with demand consistently outpacing supply. Industrial demand continues to grow, especially from sectors such as solar energy, electric vehicles (EVs), 5G networks, and AI hardware, further supporting the market. Additionally, limited supply growth plays a role, as Silver is often produced as a byproduct of other metals like Copper and Zinc, making it challenging to increase production in response to its own price fluctuations.

Example Silver Options Strategy

 

 

We firmly believe that a “Commodities Supercycle” is currently underway, and Silver is now facing its fifth consecutive year of deficit, and another squeeze could be underway. To prepare, we are constructing long-dated call spreads in the Silver market for our clients.

 

For example purposes, one could purchase the March 2026 Silver futures $55.00 call option while selling a March 2026 Silver futures $65.00 call against it. The plan will create a calculated risk Bull Call spread and costs $4,500 plus any commissions and fees, while your maximum gain would be $50,000, less your initial cost, if silver futures close above $65.00/oz at expiration on February 24, 2026. We believe this strategy achieves a low-risk, high-reward profile. To learn more about Silver futures and options, you can register to access our latest daily commentary, research, and analysis on the Silver market: Get Silver Research.

Performance Disclaimer

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program.

One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points that can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program that cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
