[SMM Silver Market Update] According to a smelter in Southern China, despite the holiday impact causing a supply-demand mismatch and increasing inventory by nearly 30 mt, the plant shipped the stock to Shanghai warehouses after the market reopened and sold part of it at a premium to the market price, allowing it to flow quickly into the market. The smelter's inventory has now rapidly decreased to a safe level.
