Overnight the Chicago Mercantile Exchange suffered a "Cooling issue" in its data center requiring a shut down of all futures trading. Some observers note the price of Silver was skyrocketing at the time, up 3% before the "cooling issue."
"Due to a cooling issue at CyrusOne data centers, our markets are currently halted. Support is working to resolve the issue in the near term and will advise clients of Pre-Open details as soon as they are available," CME wrote on X late Thursday night.
Early this morning, CME reported the issue was resolved and futures markets re-opened.
More than a few people attributed this "cooling issue" with the futures price of Silver rising 3%+. Said one trader:
Silver had to get cooled off

Woah, CME halts futures trading for the whole night and only resumes at the exact moment banks borrow 24.4bn$ of liquidity from the FED standing repo on a half day trading - no month end Friday?!

CHINA RUMOR
Rumor out of China is that an AP at the COMEX (or at the LBMA, or both) stood for delivery of 400 million Troy Ounces (around 12,441 metric tons) of physical Silver. Rather than default the Banksters PULLED THE PLUG, and they are now trying to figure out what to do…
