LOF盘中再涨停！白银套利“刷屏”，“乌龙指”、“异常交易”提醒都来了！

Core Viewpoint - The silver price surge has led to a liquidity chaos and speculative frenzy across markets, with the Guotou Silver LOF fund experiencing significant price increases and premium rates exceeding 68% [1][6]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - The Guotou Silver LOF fund saw its price hit the daily limit on December 24, with a trading volume exceeding 6% and a premium rate reaching a historical high of 68.16% [2]. - The extreme market enthusiasm has resulted in irrational price movements, including a "fat finger" incident where a similarly named fund, Guotou Ruiying LOF, was mistakenly driven to a price limit due to fund misallocation [4][8]. - The fund management has issued 13 risk alerts since December 2 and raised the subscription limit to 500 yuan to stabilize the premium, warning that the high premium is unsustainable [6][15]. Group 2: Investor Behavior - The high premium has led to a surge in social media discussions about "arbitrage," with investors attempting to buy at net asset value and sell at inflated market prices, theoretically earning up to a 30% profit margin [9]. - The fund's circulating shares increased by nearly 25% in three months, with over 10 million new shares added on a single day [9]. - However, actual arbitrage execution is complicated, involving cross-system transfers and a T+2 settlement period, which can compress profit margins or lead to losses if silver prices decline during this time [13]. Group 3: Valuation Challenges - The fund's unique valuation mechanism, which relies on the settlement price of silver futures, has exacerbated tracking errors, leading to a significant divergence between the fund's performance and the underlying silver index [15]. - Over the past year, the main silver futures contract's return doubled, while the fund's return was only 88.57%, indicating a lack of fundamental support for the soaring market prices [15]. - Experts suggest that the current situation reflects a classic price distortion driven by supply-demand imbalances, with funds aggressively pursuing limited opportunities, creating a "scarcity bubble" [15].
