The London silver market is in rare disarray. A powerful short squeeze has driven benchmark prices above $50 an ounce, marking only the second time in history the metal has reached that level. For veterans, the surge recalls the infamous Hunt brothers’ attempt to corner silver in 1980.

According to According to Bloomberg, liquidity in London has nearly vanished. Traders short the physical market are struggling to find metal, paying steep borrowing costs to maintain positions. “There is no liquidity available currently,” said Anant Jatia, Chief Investment Officer at Greenland Investment Management. “What we are seeing in silver is entirely unprecedented.” (The Chinese read about the Hunt brothers.)
