Why SHFE silver matters outside China
SHFE silver is traded by a large base of Chinese speculators, and volumes can rival COMEX. Sharp moves in Shanghai's night session often show up in London and New York prices the next morning, which is why many traders watch it alongside the Shanghai premium.
The price here is the main (most active) contract as published by market data feeds; it rolls to the next delivery month as trading shifts.
