$WPM is up 4.8% over five days while silver
$SLV has dropped 10.3%, the streaming-versus-spot dislocation that is today's cleanest signal. WPM's royalty structure insulates it from spot drawdowns while keeping leveraged upside to any reversal, so the market is already pricing a silver recovery through the vehicle even as spot lags. The pair is long WPM against short silver as a mean-reversion with a built-in buffer: if silver catches up, WPM wins; if the macro rolls over instead, the royalty structure cushions the drawdown faster than spot. Invalidation: if silver's fall is the start of a sustained precious-metals repricing rather than a one-off dislocation, both legs drop together and the buffer only slows the bleed.
