In case you missed it...

A Swiss court has ruled that regulators’ decision to wipe out SFr16.5bn (£15.5bn) of Credit Suisse bonds as part of a government-orchestrated rescue was unlawful but stopped short of ruling whether investors should be repaid. The case was brought by about 3,000 investors across 360 cases after Swiss financial regulator Finma ordered the bank’s Additional Tier 1 (AT1) bonds be written off in March 2023, as part of Credit Suisse’s emergency rescue by UBS. The Swiss Federal Administrative Court said that Finma had no clear legal basis for the move. The court found that the regulator’s decree had been invalid but did not rule on whether the bonds should be reinstated or repaid. Source: FT https://lnkd.in/eTfcR2yT

Silver continues leaving COMEX, another 4.56 million ounces withdrawn in a single day.

That means traders are actually taking physical delivery instead of just trading paper contracts. It’s happening because the London silver price is higher than New York’s, so traders are pulling real metal from U.S. vaults to sell it where it’s worth more. Each withdrawal tightens supply further and shows how physical demand is outpacing what’s left on paper. Source: StockMarket.news
