Zero shares available to short the SLV etf. I don't think I've ever seen this before.
When you see SLV borrow availability collapse to zero while the borrow rate rips (we’ve watched it jump from 0.68% last week to 1.82% today), it’s telling you shorts are scrambling. They’re facing rising margin requirements as price holds near highs and there’s simply no easy paper left to grab. Combine that with a near‑record net short on COMEX and it paints a very clear picture: The pressure is building in the release valve of the global system – silver. All of this is unfolding while the base layer (sovereign debt) itself wobbles — Japan’s 30‑year ripping toward record highs, the U.S. 30‑year back over 5%, and deep negative swap spreads showing stress in collateral plumbing.
This isn’t noise. It’s the foundation of a short squeeze forming in real time.
