While Mexico and Chile experienced declines in their silver production, Peru was by far the biggest loser. <b>Peru, which is the second-largest silver producer in the world, suffered an 11% decline in the country\u2019s domestic mine supply Jan-Jul 2019.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Even though the decline of silver mine supply at these leading producers isn\u2019t impacting the current silver market price currently, it will likely do so as the Fed and central banks lose control of their QE money printing and asset purchase policy. <b>In less than two weeks, the total U.S. debt has increased by another COOL $85 billion.<\/b> With total U.S. public debt now at $22.92 trillion, it\u2019s only a matter of time, maybe just a few weeks before we reach another record of $23 trillion.<\/p>\n<p>With the global silver mine supply this year to reach an estimated 850 million oz of production, the total value based on the Kitco $16 average for the year would only be $13.6 billion. Thus, the U.S. Government has increased the public debt in the past two weeks by more than SIX TIMES the value of the Global silver production this year.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive center\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moneymetals.com\/uploads\/content\/Global-Gold-Silver-Production-2008-2019f.jpg\" alt=\"Global Gold and Silver Production (2008-2019f)\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Yes, I do realize that comparing the value of silver to the increase in U.S. debt hasn\u2019t mattered to the markets, but it will. What will happen with silver (and gold) will be very similar to the investor reaction to ENRON when the market realized that the company was a fraud. And, let\u2019s not forget that several top Wall Street analysts, in their glorious (Let\u2019s continue to bamboozle investors) fashion, continued to put out BUY recommendations days before ENRON collapsed.<\/p>\n<p>So, the market will continue to be BAMBOOZLED by Wall Street and central banks right up until the time that the GIG IS OVER. <b>This means the time to acquire Gold &amp; Silver physical insurance is likely much wiser to purchase BEFORE than the day AFTER the GIG is up.<\/b><\/p><div id=\"inves-3825135420\" class=\"inves-in-content inves-entity-placement\"><hr style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd;\">\r\n<div id=\"inpost_ads_header\">\r\n<p style=\"font-size:10px; float:left; color:#666;\">Free Reports:<\/p><\/div>\r\n<div id=\"inpost_ads\"> \r\n<p style=\"font-size:15px; float:left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/1ApBOV\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/investmacro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/graph_techs_PD.png\" align=\"left\" width=\"80\"  height=\"55\"\/><\/a>\r\n\t     <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/1ApBOV\"><b><u>Get Our Free Metatrader 4 Indicators<\/u><\/b><\/a> - Put Our Free MetaTrader 4 Custom Indicators on your charts when you join our Weekly Newsletter<\/p><br><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<p style=\"font-size:15px; float:left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/f3RrHX\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/investmacro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/cot_pie_80.png\" align=\"left\" width=\"80\"  height=\"55\"\/><\/a>\r\n\t    <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/f3RrHX\"><b><u>Get our Weekly Commitment of Traders Reports<\/u><\/b><\/a> - See where the biggest traders (Hedge Funds and Commercial Hedgers) are positioned in the futures markets on a weekly basis.<\/p><br><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<hr style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd;\">\r\n<br><\/div>\n<p>Okay, let\u2019s look at the Top silver producers decline in silver mine supply Jan-Jul 2019:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive center\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moneymetals.com\/uploads\/content\/Silver-Production-Decline-JAN-JUL-2019-Top-Producers.jpg\" alt=\"Silver Production Decline in 2019 from Top Producing Countries (Jan-July)\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In the first seven months of the year, Peru\u2019s domestic mine supply is down a whopping 278 metric tons (11%), while Mexico is down 146 metric tons (4%), followed by Chile down 57 metric tons (8%). <b>The total decline in silver production from these three countries is 481 metric tons (mt) or 15.5 million oz.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Polymetal International, Russia\u2019s largest silver producer, which accounted for 58% of the country\u2019s total mine supply last year, is down 14% in the first half of 2019.
