Physical Market & Exchange Inventories

A growing part of the debate centers on physical silver availability. Reports of persistent premiums in certain regions—where buyers pay above benchmark “spot” prices—have fueled the narrative that the market is not just reacting to speculative flows.

Some market watchers note that when physical demand dominates, regional price spreads can widen and exchange inventories can decline, pushing traders to focus on delivery and supply logistics rather than paper positioning.
