ETF进化论 突发逼空！业内大佬：几十年没见过 原创 阅读全文 ...

伦敦白银市场正经历数十年来罕见的动荡。 一场史无前例的"逼空潮"正在席卷这座百年贵金属交易中心， 推动白银价格飙升至每盎司超过50美元——历史上第二次达到这一水平 ，也让市场回想起1980 年"亨特兄弟"试图操纵白银市场的那一幕。 分析人士指出，这场挤兑并非"现代版亨特兄弟阴谋"，而是多重力量叠加的结果。 首先，近期 全球投资者大举涌入黄金和白银 ，对冲美国债务快速上升、财政僵局及货币贬值风险。与此同时，白银特有的供需紧张格局加剧了市场波动。 其次，投资者买盘激增恰逢本月印度需求突然增加。据TD Securities的Daniel Ghali称，印度买家此前从香港采购白银，但在"黄金周"假期期间转移了采购渠 道。一只印度ETF甚至在周四暂停新投资，理由是国内短缺。 最新数据显示， 伦敦现货白银价格相对纽约期货出现了史无前例的溢价水平，市场流动性几乎枯竭。持有空头头寸的交易商难以找到可交割的金属，被迫支付 高昂成本以延后结算。部分机构甚至包下跨大西洋航班的货舱，空运笨重的银锭——这种昂贵操作通常只用于金条运输——以赚取伦敦市场的溢价。 Greenland Investment Management首席投资官An ...

Core Viewpoint - The London silver market is experiencing unprecedented turmoil, with a "short squeeze" driving silver prices above $50 per ounce, reminiscent of the 1980 "Hunt brothers" incident [1] Group 1: Market Dynamics - The current situation is characterized by an unprecedented premium of London spot silver prices over New York futures, leading to a liquidity crisis [2] - Investors are flocking to gold and silver as a hedge against rising U.S. debt, fiscal deadlock, and currency devaluation, exacerbating market volatility [3] - Increased demand from India coincides with the liquidity crisis, as Indian buyers shift their purchasing channels during the "golden week" holiday [3] Group 2: Inventory and Supply Issues - London silver inventories have decreased significantly, with a 75% drop in freely available silver since mid-2019, from 850 million ounces to approximately 200 million ounces [4] - The supply of silver is insufficient to meet both investment and industrial demand, particularly from the solar energy sector [6] Group 3: Price and Borrowing Costs - The silver price has broken multiple records in the past two days, with overnight borrowing costs exceeding 100% annualized, surpassing levels seen during the 1980 squeeze [7] - The London silver auction, held daily since 1897, saw its first transaction exceed $50 on Friday, with a premium of $3 over New York futures [7] Group 4: Market Mechanisms and Logistics - The liquidity crisis is compounded by banks' reluctance to quote prices to each other, leading to wide bid-ask spreads [8] - There is a growing urgency among clients to transport silver from New York to London, with estimates of 15 to 30 million ounces being sought for transport [9] - The return of physical silver to London is seen as a potential solution to alleviate the current tightness in the market [10]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report The implementation of the new policy of resuming VAT on the interest income of newly issued bonds after August 8, 2025, will have a significant impact on the spot bond market and will also be transmitted to the pricing logic and trading strategies of Treasury bond futures. The key to whether there will be inter - period gaming opportunities or short - squeezing phenomena in Treasury bond futures lies in whether the CTD bond (cheapest to deliver bond) switches. The T contract may be a special case in the subsequent CTD bond changes, and there may be inter - period arbitrage opportunities and short - squeezing [1][6]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Whether the Cancellation of Tax Exemption on Treasury Bonds Will Lead to CTD Bond Switching: The T Contract Is a Special Case - Generally, new bonds are difficult to replace old bonds as CTD bonds. New bonds with longer durations need to be fully discounted, which is difficult to achieve in practice. However, the 7 - year new bond in the T contract's deliverable bonds has a relatively short duration and only needs a small discount to become the CTD bond [11][12]. - There are two common empirical rules for identifying CTD bonds: when the spot bond yield is higher than the coupon rate (3%) of the Treasury bond futures virtual bond, high - duration bonds tend to be CTD bonds; when it is lower, low - duration bonds tend to be CTD bonds. For bonds with similar durations, the one with a higher yield to maturity is more likely to be the CTD bond [11]. - For TS, TF, and TL contracts, the newly issued bonds are generally of longer duration among the deliverable bonds, so they need to be significantly discounted to replace old bonds as CTD bonds. For the T contract, the 7 - year new bond only needs to have an issue rate about 3 - 6bp higher than the active bond to become the CTD bond for the 2512 or 2603 contracts, while the 10 - year new bond needs an issue rate about 30bp higher [14][17][18]. 3.2 How Will the Inter - period Change After the Cancellation of Tax Exemption: Focus on Contracts with CTD Bond Switching - The key to whether there are inter - period arbitrage opportunities after the cancellation of tax exemption on Treasury bonds lies in whether the CTD bonds of near - and far - month contracts switch. If the CTD bonds switch, considering the tax - exemption effect, the contract with the old bond as the CTD bond may be stronger than the one with the new bond, and inter - period arbitrage can be carried out [19]. - Contracts where CTD bonds are more likely to switch are TS2603, T2603, and T2512. With the new issuance of 2 - year and 7 - year Treasury bonds on September 12, there may be opportunities to focus on the inter - period spreads of TS2512 - TS2603 and T2512 - T2603 [7][20]. 3.3 Will There Be a "Short - Squeezing" in Treasury Bond Futures After the Cancellation of Tax Exemption on Treasury Bonds? - The possibility of short - squeezing in Treasury bond futures contracts with old bonds as CTD bonds is relatively small. The large stock of old bonds and subsequent issuances ensure sufficient supply, and excessive chasing will reduce their cost - effectiveness, thus suppressing the buying sentiment [23][25]. - Contracts where CTD bonds may switch to new bonds may face short - squeezing pressure. New bonds have low supply and circulation at the initial issuance stage, and the market lacks experience in dealing with new bonds as CTD bonds. The T contract and TS2603 contract are more likely to have CTD bond switches, and the T contract may face more severe short - squeezing pressure due to its large delivery volume and the relatively poor liquidity of the 7 - year Treasury bond [25].
