China will impose export restrictions on silver starting January 1, 2026. The new regulations will require special government licenses for all silver exports.

As a result of these upcoming restrictions, silver prices in Shanghai have risen to $85 per ounce, reflecting a premium of approximately $5 over spot prices in the United States.

This development comes amid a broader context of economic changes, including recent developments in global export policies.

Further updates on related economic impacts and market reactions are expected as the implementation date approaches.
