                                -Dutch repatriation, French repatriation request

                -also, now entire world doomed to money printing to infinity after Swiss dupe

                

Historic PM tightness

                -record U.S. Mint Silver Eagles sales, Royal Canadian Mint Silver Maple sales, Indian silver imports, Chinese gold demand, 15-year low GOFO rates; plus, end of Indian 80/20 import/export rule
