Resolves YES if credible industry or government reports (e.g., Mexican mining authorities, World Silver Survey, or major mining companies operating in Zacatecas and Durango) indicate that on May 1, 2026, more than 15% of the global silver production is disrupted due to violence in Mexico's core silver-mining regions. Disruptions include halted operations, significant production delays, or forced shutdowns directly attributable to violent incidents. This threshold is near current estimates of disruption risk amid ongoing security challenges, making it a critical indicator for global silver supply stability.
Violence in Mexico's core silver-mining region, including Zacatecas and Durango, could disrupt a significant portion of global silver supply. This poses substantial risks to silver availability and could drive up market prices.
