Let us have a look at the data for today\
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
In silver, the total open interest ROSE BY A CONSIDERABLE SIZED 1344 contracts from 191,999 RISING TO 193,343 DESPITE YESTERDAY'S 17 CENT FALL IN SILVER PRICING. WE HAD ZERO COMEX LIQUIDATION. HOWEVER, WE WERE AGAIN NOTIFIED THAT WE HAD ANOTHER STRONG SIZED NUMBER OF COMEX LONGS TRANSFERRING THEIR CONTRACTS TO LONDON THROUGH THE EFP ROUTE: 324 EFP'S FOR MARCH AND AND 2325 EFP'S FOR MAY AND ZERO FOR ALL OTHER MONTHS AND THUS TOTAL ISSUANCE OF 2649 CONTRACTS. WITH THE TRANSFER OF 2649 CONTRACTS, WHAT THE CME IS STATING IS THAT THERE IS NO SILVER (OR GOLD) TO BE DELIVERED UPON AT THE COMEX AS THEY MUST EXPORT THEIR OBLIGATION TO LONDON. ALSO KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE CAN BE A DELAY OF 24 HRS IN THE ISSUING OF EFP'S. THE 2649 CONTRACTS TRANSLATES INTO 13.245 MILLION OZ DESPITE WITH THE CONTINUAL DROP IN OPEN INTEREST IN SILVER AT THE COMEX.
ACCUMULATION FOR EFP'S/SILVER/J.P.MORGAN'S HOUSE OF BRIBES, / STARTING FROM FIRST DAY NOTICE/FOR MONTH OF FEBRUARY:
48,989 CONTRACTS (FOR 20 TRADING DAYS TOTAL 48,989 CONTRACTS OR 244.945 MILLION OZ: AVERAGE PER DAY: 2637 CONTRACTS OR 13.185 MILLION OZ/DAY
TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA AS TO THE HUGE SUPPLY THIS MONTH IN SILVER: SO FAR THIS MONTH: 244.945 MILLION PAPER OZ HAVE MORPHED OVER TO LONDON. THIS REPRESENTS AROUND 34.98% OF ANNUAL GLOBAL PRODUCTION
ACCUMULATION IN YEAR 2018 TO DATE SILVER EFP'S: 493.475 MILLION OZ.
ACCUMULATION FOR JAN 2018: 236.879 MILLION OZ
ACCUMULATION FOR MONTH OF FEBRUARY: 244.945 MILLION OZ
RESULT: WE HAD ZERO LOSS IN COMEX OI SILVER COMEX DESPITE THE 17 CENT LOSS IN SILVER PRICE. WE ALSO HAD A GOOD SIZED EFP ISSUANCE OF 2649 CONTRACTS WHICH EXITED OUT OF THE SILVER COMEX AND TRANSFERRED THEIR OI TO LONDON AS FORWARDS. SPECULATORS CONTINUED THEIR INTEREST IN ATTACKING THE SILVER COMEX FOR PHYSICAL SILVER . FROM THE CME DATA 2649 EFP'S FOR MONTHS MARCH AND MAY WERE ISSUED FOR A DELIVERABLE FORWARD CONTRACT OVER IN LONDON WITH A FIAT BONUS. WE GAINED 3993 OI CONTRACTS i.e. 2649 open interest contracts headed for London (EFP's) TOGETHER WITH A INCREASE OF 1344 OI COMEX CONTRACTS. AND ALL OF THIS HAPPENED WITH THE FALL IN PRICE OF SILVER OF 17 CENTS AND A CLOSING PRICE OF $16.43 WITH RESPECT TO YESTERDAY'S TRADING. YET WE STILL HAVE A FAIR AMOUNT OF SILVER STANDING AT THE COMEX.
In ounces AT THE COMEX, the OI is still represented by just UNDER 1 BILLION oz i.e. 0.9667 BILLION TO BE EXACT or 138% of annual global silver production (ex Russia & ex China).
FOR THE NEW FRONT FEBRUARY MONTH/ THEY FILED: 3507 NOTICE(S) FOR 17,535 OZ OF SILVER
In gold, the open interest ROSE BY A SMALL 211 CONTRACTS RISING TO 532,860 DESPITE THE CONSIDERABLE FALL IN PRICE OF GOLD WITH RESPECT TO YESTERDAY'S TRADING ($13.80).HOWEVER, IN ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT, WE RECEIVED THE TOTAL NUMBER OF GOLD EFP'S ISSUED FOR WEDNESDAY AND IT TOTALED AN HUGE SIZED 13,581 CONTRACTS OF WHICH APRIL SAW THE ISSUANCE OF 13,581 CONTRACTS AND JUNE SAW THE ISSUANCE OF 0 CONTRACTS AND THEN ALL OTHER MONTHS ZERO. The new OI for the gold complex rests at 532,649. ALSO REMEMBER THAT THERE WILL BE A DELAY IN THE ISSUANCE OF EFP'S. THE BANKERS REMOVE LONG POSITIONS OF COMEX GOLD IMMEDIATELY. THEN THEY ORCHESTRATE THEIR PRIVATE EFP DEAL WITH THE LONGS AND THAT COULD TAKE AN ADDITIONAL 48 HRS SO WE GENERALLY DO NOT GET A MATCH WITH RESPECT TO DEPARTING COMEX LONGS AND NEW EFP LONG TRANSFERS. DEMAND FOR GOLD INTENSIFIES GREATLY AS WE CONTINUE TO WITNESS A HUGE NUMBER OF EFP TRANSFERS TOGETHER WITH THE MASSIVE INCREASE IN GOLD COMEX OI TOGETHER WITH THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF GOLD OUNCES STANDING FOR FEBRUARY COMEX. EVEN THOUGH THE BANKERS ISSUED THESE MONSTROUS EFPS, THE OBLIGATION STILL RESTS WITH THE BANKERS TO SUPPLY METAL BUT IT TRANSFERS THE RISK TO A LONDON BANKER OBLIGATION AND NOT A NEW YORK COMEX OBLIGATION. LONGS RECEIVE A FIAT BONUS TOGETHER WITH A LONG LONDON FORWARD. THUS, BY THESE ACTIONS, THE BANKERS AT THE COMEX HAVE JUST STATED THAT THEY HAVE NO APPRECIABLE METAL!! THIS IS A MASSIVE FRAUD: THEY CANNOT SUPPLY ANY METAL TO OUR COMEX LONGS BUT THEY ARE QUITE WILLING TO SUPPLY MASSIVE NON BACKED GOLD (AND SILVER) PAPER KNOWING THAT THEY HAVE NO METAL TO SATISFY OUR LONGS. LONDON IS NOW SEVERELY BACKWARD IN BOTH GOLD AND SILVER (BIG RISE IN BOTH GOFO AND SIFO) AND WE ARE WITNESSING DELAYS IN ACTUAL DELIVERIES. IN ESSENCE WE HAVE A GAIN OF 13,792 CONTRACTS: 211 OI CONTRACTS INCREASED AT THE COMEX AND A HUGE SIZED 13,581 OI CONTRACTS WHICH NAVIGATED OVER TO LONDON.(16,117 oi gain in CONTRACTS EQUATES TO 42.89TONNES)
YESTERDAY, WE HAD 7855 EFP'S ISSUED.
ACCUMULATION OF EFP'S GOLD AT J.P. MORGAN'S HOUSE OF BRIBES: (EXCHANGE FOR PHYSICAL) FOR THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY STARTING WITH FIRST DAY NOTICE: 208,806 CONTRACTS OR 20,880,600 OZ OR 649.45 TONNES (20 TRADING DAYS AND THUS AVERAGING: 10,440EFP CONTRACTS PER TRADING DAY OR 1,044,000 OZ/ TRADING DAY)
TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA AS TO THE HUGE SIZE OF THESE EFP TRANSFERS : SO FAR THIS MONTH IN 19 TRADING DAYS: IN TONNES: 649.45 TONNES
TOTAL ANNUAL GOLD PRODUCTION, 2017, THROUGHOUT THE WORLD EX CHINA EX RUSSIA: 2200 TONNES
THUS EFP TRANSFERS REPRESENTS 649.45/2200 x 100% TONNES = 29.52% OF GLOBAL ANNUAL PRODUCTION SO FAR IN FEBRUARY ALONE.
ACCUMULATION OF GOLD EFP'S YEAR 2018 TO DATE: 1283.01 TONNES
ACCUMULATION OF GOLD EFP'S FOR JANUARY 2018: 653.22 TONNES
ACCUMULATION OF GOLD EFP'S FOR FEBRUARY: 649.45 TONNES
Result: A STRONG SIZED INCREASE IN OI AT THE COMEX DESPITE THE HUGE FALL IN PRICE IN GOLD TRADING YESTERDAY ($13.80). HOWEVER, WE HAD ANOTHER HUGE SIZED NUMBER OF COMEX LONG TRANSFERRING TO LONDON THROUGH THE EFP ROUTE: 13,581 CONTRACTS AS THESE HAVE ALREADY BEEN NEGOTIATED AND CONFIRMED. THERE OBVIOUSLY DOES NOT SEEM TO BE MUCH PHYSICAL GOLD AT THE COMEX AND YET WE ALSO OBSERVED A HUGE DELIVERY MONTH FOR THE MONTH OF DECEMBER. I GUESS IT EXPLAINS THE HUGE ISSUANCE OF EFP'S...THERE IS HARDLY ANY GOLD PRESENT AT THE GOLD COMEX FOR DELIVERY PURPOSES. IF YOU TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE 13,581 EFP CONTRACTS ISSUED, WE HAD A NET GAIN IN OPEN INTEREST OF 13,792 contracts ON THE TWO EXCHANGES:
13,581 CONTRACTS MOVE TO LONDON AND 211 CONTRACTS INCREASED AT THE COMEX. (in tonnes, the GAIN in total oi equates to 42.89 TONNES).
we had: 0 notice(s) filed upon for NIL oz of gold.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
With respect to our two criminal funds, the GLD and the SLV:
GLD
WITH GOLD DOWN $0.70 : NO CHANGES IN GOLD INVENTORY AT THE GLD OF GOLD INTO THE GLD
Inventory rests tonight: 831.03 tonnes.
SLV/
WITH SILVER DOWN 5 CENTS TODAY:
NO CHANGES IN SILVER INVENTORY AT THE SLV
/INVENTORY RESTS AT 316.590 MILLION OZ/
Let us head over to the comex:
The total gold comex open interest ROSE BY 211 CONTRACTS UP to an OI level 532,860 DESPITE THE CONSIDERABLE FALL IN THE PRICE OF GOLD ($13.80 LOSS/ YESTERDAY'S TRADING). SURPRISINGLY WE HAD ZERO COMEX GOLD LIQUIDATION. HOWEVER THE CME REPORTS THAT THE BANKERS ISSUED A RATHER SMALL COMEX TRANSFER THROUGH THE EFP ROUTE AS THESE LONGS RECEIVED A DELIVERABLE LONDON FORWARD TOGETHER WITH A FIAT BONUS. WE HAD A 13,581 EFP'S ISSUED FOR APRIL AND 0 EFP's FOR JUNE AND ZERO FOR ALL OTHER MONTHS: TOTAL 13,581 CONTRACTS. THE OBLIGATION STILL RESTS WITH THE BANKERS ON THESE TRANSFERS. ALSO REMEMBER THAT THERE IS NO DOUBT A HUGE DELAY IN THE ISSUANCE OF EFP'S AND IT PROBABLY TAKES AT LEAST 48 HRS AFTER LONGS GIVE UP THEIR COMEX CONTRACTS FOR THEM TO RECEIVE THEIR EFP'S AS THEY ARE NEGOTIATING THIS CONTRACT WITH THE BANKS FOR A FIAT BONUS PLUS THEIR TRANSFER TO A LONDON FORWARD... THE COMEX IS NOW AN ABSOLUTE FRAUD!!
ON A NET BASIS IN OPEN INTEREST WE GAINED TODAY: 13,792 OI CONTRACTS IN THAT 13,581 LONGS WERE TRANSFERRED AS FORWARDS TO LONDON AND WE GAINED 211 COMEX CONTRACTS.
NET GAIN ON THE TWO EXCHANGES: 13,792 contracts OR 1,379,200 OZ OR 42.89 TONNES.
Result: A GOOD SIZED INCREASE IN COMEX OPEN INTEREST DESPITE THE CONSIDERABLE FALL IN YESTERDAY'S GOLD TRADING ($13.80.) TOTAL OPEN INTEREST GAIN ON THE TWO EXCHANGES: 13,792 OI CONTRACTS..
We have now entered the non active contract month of MARCH where we LOST 303 contracts DOWN to 692 contracts. Thus by definition, the initial amount of gold standing for March is 692 contracts x 100 oz per contract = 69,200 oz or 2.1524 tonnes
April saw a GAIN of 1103 contracts UP to 352,628. The really big June contract month saw a gain of 1072 contracts up to 99,105 contracts.
We had 0 notice(s) filed upon today for nil oz
THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE ANY GOLD AT THE COMEX TO BE SERVED UPON.
PRELIMINARY COMEX VOLUME FOR TODAY: 246,898 contracts
CONFIRMED COMEX VOL. FOR YESTERDAY: 359,489 CONTRACTS
comex gold volumes are RISING AGAIN
Here is a summary of the latest gold trading volumes at the Comex per year
certainly the introduction of EFP's has certainly had an effect:
Trading Volumes on the COMEX
Meanwhile, gold-trading volumes on the COMEX have never been higher:
end
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxAnd now for the wild silver comex results.
Total silver OI ROSE BY A CONSIDERABLE 1344 CONTRACTS FROM 191,999 DOWN TO 193,343 DESPITE YESTERDAY'S 17 CENT FALL IN TRADING). HOWEVER,WE WERE ALSO INFORMED THAT WE HAD ANOTHER GOOD SIZED 324 EMERGENCY EFP'S FOR MARCH ISSUED BY OUR BANKERS (WITH 2325 EFP CONTRACTS FOR MAY AND ZERO FOR ALL OTHER MONTHS) TO COMEX LONGS WHO RECEIVED A FIAT BONUS PLUS A DELIVERABLE PRODUCT OVER IN LONDON: THE TOTAL EFP'S ISSUED: 2649. THE SILVER BOYS HAVE STARTED TO MIGRATE TO LONDON FROM THE START OF DELIVERY MONTH AND CONTINUING RIGHT THROUGH UNTIL FIRST DAY NOTICE JUST LIKE WE ARE WITNESSING TODAY. USUALLY WE NOTED THAT CONTRACTION IN OI OCCURRED ONLY DURING THE LAST WEEK OF AN UPCOMING ACTIVE DELIVERY MONTH AS WE HAVE JUST SEEN IN GOLD TODAY. THIS PROCESS HAS JUST BEGUN IN EARNEST IN SILVER STARTING IN SEPTEMBER 2017. HOWEVER, IN GOLD, WE HAVE BEEN WITNESSING THIS FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS. NICK LAIRD WAS KIND ENOUGH TO SUPPLY US THE TOTAL FOR 2017 GOLD EFP'S AND IT WAS 6600 TONNES FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR. WE OBVIOUSLY HAD ZERO LONG COMEX SILVER LIQUIDATION WITH A HUGE SIZED GAIN IN TOTAL SILVER OI. WE ARE ALSO WITNESSING A FAIR AMOUNT OF SILVER OUNCES STANDING FOR COMEX METAL IN THIS NON ACTIVE JANUARY AS WELL AS THAT CONTINUAL MIGRATION OF EFPS OVER TO LONDON. ON A PERCENTAGE BASIS THERE ARE MORE EFP'S ISSUED FOR GOLD THAN SILVER. ON A NET BASIS WE GAINED 3993 SILVER OPEN INTEREST CONTRACTS
1344 CONTRACT GAIN AT THE COMEX COMBINING WITH THE ADDITION OF 2649 OI CONTRACTSNAVIGATING OVER TO LONDON.
NET GAIN ON THE TWO EXCHANGES: 3993 CONTRACTS
We are now in the active delivery month of MARCH and here the front month LOST 12,735 contracts FALLING TO 4934 contracts. Thus by definition, the number of silver oz standing in this active contract month of March is 4934 contracts x 5,000 per contract = 24,670,000 OZ. THIS IS A VERY STRONG AMOUNT OF SILVER STANDING FOR METAL AT THE COMEX.
April gained 37 contracts up to 424 .
The next big active delivery month for silver will be May and here the OI rose by 13,129 contracts up to 150,405
We had 0 notice(s) filed for NIL OZ for the FEBRUARY 2018 contract for silver
INITIAL standings for MARCH
Feb 28/2018.
For MARCH:Today, 0 notice(s) were issued from JPMorgan dealer account and 0 notices were issued from their client or customer account. The total of all issuance by all participants equates to 0 contract(s) of which 0 notices were stopped (received) by j.P. Morgan dealer and 0 notice(s) was (were) stopped/ Received) by j.P.Morgan customer account.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxTo calculate the INITIAL total number of gold ounces standing for the MARCH. contract month, we take the total number of notices filed so far for the month (0) x 100 oz or 0 oz, to which we add the difference between the open interest for the front month of FEB. (692 contracts) minus the number of notices served upon today (0 x 100 oz per contract) equals 69200 oz, the number of ounces standing in this nonactive month of MARCH (2.1524 tonnes)
Thus the INITIAL standings for gold for the MARCH contract month:
No of notices served (0 x 100 oz or ounces + {(692)OI for the front month minus the number of notices served upon today (0 x 100 oz )which equals 69,200 oz standing in this nonactive delivery month of March . THERE IS 10.441 TONNES OF REGISTERED GOLD AVAILABLE FOR DELIVERY SO FAR.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
IN THE LAST 17 MONTHS 70 NET TONNES HAS LEFT THE COMEX.
end
And now for silver
AND NOW THE DECEMBER DELIVERY MONTH
MARCH INITIAL standings
we had 1 inventory movement at the dealer side of things
we had 1 inventory deposits into the dealer account
i) Into Brinks: 1,033,983.420 oz
total inventory deposits into dealer: 1,033,983.420 oz
we had 2 deposits into the customer account
i) into BRINKS: 5251.160 oz
ii) into HSBC: 1,798,918.100 oz
*** JPMorgan for most of 2017 and in 2018 has adding to its inventory almost every single day.
JPMorgan now has 135 million oz of total silver inventory or 54% of all official comex silver.
total deposits customer account: 1,804,169.260 oz
we had 0 withdrawals from the customer account;
total withdrawals; nil oz
we had 3 adjustments
i) Out of Scotia: 1,003,206.500 oz was adjusted out of the customer account and this landed into the dealer account of Scotia
ii) out of HSBC: 1,671,695.000 oz was adjusted out of the customer is this landed into the dealer account of HSBC
iii) Out of CNT 1,389,124.360 oz
total amount of silver adjusted out of the dealer and landing into customer accounts: 4,064,025.860 oz
total dealer silver: 55.558 million
total dealer + customer silver: 251,320 million oz
the silver comex also seems to be under tremendous stress to bring in silver for some purpose.
The total number of notices filed today for the March. contract month is represented by 3507 contract(s) FOR 17,535,000 oz. To calculate the number of silver ounces that will stand for delivery in March., we take the total number of notices filed for the month so far at 3507 x 5,000 oz = 17,535,000 oz to which we add the difference between the open interest for the front month of Mar. (4934) and the number of notices served upon today (3507 x 5000 oz) equals the number of ounces standing.
.
Thus the INITIAL standings for silver for the March contract month: 3507(notices served so far)x 5000 oz + OI for front month of March(4934) -number of notices served upon today (3507)x 5000 oz equals 24,670,000 oz of silver standing for the March contract month.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ESTIMATED VOLUME FOR TODAY: 60,402 CONTRACTS
CONFIRMED VOLUME FOR YESTERDAY: 131,433 CONTRACTS
YESTERDAY'S CONFIRMED VOLUME OF 131,433 CONTRACTS EQUATES TO 667 MILLION OZ OR 95.28% OF ANNUAL GLOBAL PRODUCTION OF SILVER
COMMODITY LAW SUGGESTS THAT OPEN INTEREST SHOULD NOT BE MORE THAN 3% OF ANNUAL GLOBAL PRODUCTION. THE CROOKS ARE SUPPLYING MASSIVE PAPER TRYING TO KEEP SILVER IN CHECK.
The record level of silver open interest is 234,787 contracts set on April 21./2017 with the price at that day at $18.42The previous record was 224,540 contracts with the price at that time of $20.44
