🟥 Shock Silver Price Premium In Shanghai Will Quickly Drain Western Market Vaults

Author: David Jensen

After the 30% silver price smash on the CME COMEX late on Friday January 30, 2026, the Western silver cash price now trades at a +29% or +$22.98 premium to the price in Shanghai markets.

To remove silver from China's exchange vaults, a 13% VAT tax must first be paid driving the premium for Shanghai wholesale physical silver to +45.8% or +$36.22 over Western exchanges.

The cost of shipping/insuring bulk silver by air freight to China is approximately $2 /oz.

The arbitrage opportunity to ship bulk silver to China is thus over $34 per oz. and this physical silver will rapidly flow from London and New York vaults to China.
The shock forced silver price reduction in Western digital markets that started on January 30 is driving the enormous price premium and is unsustainable as silver vacates Western vaults to meet voracious Chinese and Asian demand.
If this price disparity continues, expect drastically restricted silver availability in Western markets in the weeks ahead.

Best regards,

🟩 The S&P 500 Is Reporting Highest Net Profit Margin in More Than 15 Years

By John Butters  |  February 2, 2026

Given concerns in the market about tariffs and higher costs, what is the S&P 500 reporting for a net profit margin for Q4?

The blended net profit margin for the S&P 500 for Q4 2025 is 13.2%. If 13.2% is the actual net profit margin for the quarter, it will mark the highest net profit margin reported by the index since FactSet began tracking this metric in 2009. The current record (going back to 2009) is 13.1%, which occurred in the previous quarter.

At the sector level, four sectors are reporting a year-over-year increase in their net profit margins in Q4 2025 compared to Q4 2024, led by the Information Technology (29.0% vs. 26.8%) and Industrials (12.5% vs. 10.7%) sectors. On the other hand, six sectors are reporting a year-over-year decrease in their net profit margins in Q4 2025 compared to Q4 2024, led by the Real Estate (33.5% vs. 35.1%) sector. One sector (Energy) is reporting no change in net profit margin (7.8%) in Q4 2025 compared to Q4 2024.

Five sectors are reporting net profit margins in Q4 2025 that are above their 5-year averages, led by the Information Technology (29.0% vs. 25.0%) and Industrials (12.5% vs. 9.3%) sectors. On the other hand, six sectors are reporting net profit margins in Q4 2025 that are below their 5-year averages, led by the Health Care (6.9% vs. 9.2%) and Real Estate (33.5% vs. 35.8%) sectors.

Three sectors are reporting a quarter-over-quarter increase in their net profit margins in Q4 2025 compared to Q3 2025, led by the Industrials (12.5% vs. 10.5%) sector. On the other hand, eight sectors are reporting a quarter-over-quarter decrease in their net profit margins in Q4 2025 compared to Q3 2025, led by the Utilities (12.9% vs. 17.1%) sector.

It is interesting to note that analysts believe net profit margins for the S&P 500 will be even higher in 2026. As of today, the estimated net profit margins for Q1 2026 through Q4 2026 are 13.2%, 13.8%, 14.2%, and 14.2%, respectively.
