Let us have a look at the data for today
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
In silver, the total OPEN INTEREST FELL BY A TINY SIZED 872 CONTRACTS FROM 175,076 DOWN TO 173,574 DESPITE FRIDAY'S CONSIDERABLE 21 CENT LOSS IN SILVER PRICING AT THE COMEX. TODAY WE ARRIVED FURTHER FROM AUGUST'S RECORD SETTING OPEN INTEREST OF 244,196 CONTRACTS.
WE HAVE ALSO WITNESSED A LARGE AMOUNT OF PHYSICAL METAL STAND FOR COMEX DELIVERY AS WE NOW HAVE JUST LESS THAN 20 MILLION OZ STANDING IN DECEMBER. AS WELL WE ARE WITNESSING CONSIDERABLE LONGS PACKING THEIR BAGS AND MIGRATING OVER TO LONDON IN GREATER NUMBERS IN THE FORM OF EFP'S. WE WERE NOTIFIED THAT WE HAD A STRONG SIZED NUMBER OF COMEX LONGS TRANSFERRING THEIR CONTRACTS TO LONDON THROUGH THE EFP:
1919 EFP'S FOR DECEMBER AND 0 FOR MARCH AND ZERO FOR ALL OTHER MONTHS AND THEREFORE TOTAL ISSUANCE: OF 1919 CONTRACTS. WITH THE TRANSFER OF 1919 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 24-48 HRS IN THE ISSUING OF EFP'S. THE 1919 EFP CONTRACTS TRANSLATES INTO 9.595 MILLION OZ ACCOMPANYING:
1.THE 21 CENT LOSS IN SILVER PRICE AT THE COMEX AND
2. THE STRONG AMOUNT OF SILVER OUNCES WHICH STOOD FOR DELIVERY IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS:
JUNE/2018. (5.420 MILLION OZ);
FOR JULY: 30.370 MILLION OZ
FOR AUG., 6.065 MILLION OZ
FOR SEPT. 39.505 MILLION OZ S
FOR OCT.2.525 MILLION OZ.
FOR NOV: A HUGE 7.440 MILLION OZ STANDING FOR NOVEMBER AND
NOW 20.730 INITIALLY STAND FOR DECEMBER.
ACCUMULATION FOR EFP'S/SILVER/J.P.MORGAN'S HOUSE OF BRIBES, / STARTING FROM FIRST DAY NOTICE/FOR MONTH OF DEC: 19,723 CONTRACTS (FOR 11 TRADING DAYS TOTAL 19,723 CONTRACTS) OR 98.62 MILLION OZ: (AVERAGE PER DAY: 1793 CONTRACTS OR 8.966 MILLION OZ/DAY)
TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA AS TO THE HUGE SUPPLY THIS MONTH IN SILVER: SO FAR THIS MONTH OF DEC: 98.62 MILLION PAPER OZ HAVE MORPHED OVER TO LONDON. THIS REPRESENTS AROUND 14.08% OF ANNUAL GLOBAL PRODUCTION (EX CHINA EX RUSSIA)* JUNE'S 345.43 MILLION OZ IS THE SECOND HIGHEST RECORDED ISSUANCE OF EFP'S AND IT FOLLOWED THE RECORD SET IN APRIL 2018 OF 385.75 MILLION OZ.
ACCUMULATION IN YEAR 2018 TO DATE SILVER EFP'S: 2,775.68 MILLION OZ.
ACCUMULATION FOR JAN 2018: 236.879 MILLION OZ
ACCUMULATION FOR FEB 2018: 244.95 MILLION OZ

ACCUMULATION FOR SEPTEMBER 2018: 167,05 MILLION OZ
ACCUMULATION FOR OCTOBER 2018: 224.875 MILLION OZ
ACCUMULATION FOR NOVEMBER /2018: 247.18 MILLION OZ
RESULT: WE HAD A SMALL SIZED DECREASE IN COMEX OI SILVER COMEX CONTRACTS OF 872 DESPITE THE CONSIDERABLE 21 CENT LOSS IN SILVER PRICING AT THE COMEX //FRIDAY.. AS THE BOYS CONTINUE WITH THEIR CUSTOMARY MIGRATION OVER TO ETFS AT THE START OF AN ACTIVE DELIVERY MONTH. THE CME NOTIFIED US THAT WE HAD A STRONG SIZED EFP ISSUANCE OF 1919 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 (SEE COMEX DATA) .
TODAY WE GAINED A FAIR SIZED: 1047 TOTAL OI CONTRACTS ON THE TWO EXCHANGES:
i.e 1919 OPEN INTEREST CONTRACTS HEADED FOR LONDON (EFP's) TOGETHER WITH DECREASE OF 872 OI COMEX CONTRACTS. AND ALL OF THIS DEMAND HAPPENED WITH A 21 CENT FALL INPRICE OF SILVER AND A CLOSING PRICE OF $14.56 WITH RESPECT TO YESTERDAY'S TRADING. YET WE HAD A GIGANTIC AMOUNT OF SILVER STANDING AT THE COMEX FOR DELIVERY
In ounces AT THE COMEX, the OI is still represented by JUST UNDER 1 BILLION oz i.e. .875 BILLION OZ TO BE EXACT or 125% of annual global silver production (ex Russia & ex China).
FOR THE NEW FRONT DEC MONTH/ THEY FILED AT THE COMEX: 0 NOTICE(S) FOR NIL OZ OF SILVER
IN SILVER,PRIOR TO TODAY, WE SET THE NEW COMEX RECORD OF OPEN INTEREST AT 243,411 CONTRACTS ON APRIL 9.2018. AND AGAIN THIS HAS BEEN SET WITH A LOW PRICE OF $16.51.
AND NOW WE RECORD FOR POSTERITY ANOTHER ALL TIME RECORD OPEN INTEREST AT THE COMEX OF 244,196 CONTRACTS ON AUGUST 22/2018 AND AGAIN WHEN THIS RECORD WAS SET, THE PRICE OF SILVER WAS $14.78 AND LOWER IN PRICE THAN PREVIOUS RECORDS.
ON THE DEMAND SIDE WE HAVE THE FOLLOWING:
HUGE AMOUNTS OF SILVER STANDING FOR DELIVERY (MARCH/2018: 27 MILLION OZ , APRIL/2018 : 2.485 MILLION OZ MAY: 36.285 MILLION OZ ; JUNE/2018 (5.420 MILLION OZ) , JULY 2018 FINAL AMOUNT STANDING: 30.370 MILLION OZ ) FOR AUGUST 6.065 MILLION OZ. , SEPT: A HUGE 39.505 MILLION OZ./ OCTOBER: 2,520,000 oz NOV AT 7.440 MILLION OZ./AND NOW DEC. AT 20.900 MILLION OZHUGE RECORD OPEN INTEREST IN SILVER 243,411 CONTRACTS (OR 1.217 BILLION OZ/ SET APRIL 9/2018) AND NOW AUGUST 22/2018: 244,196 CONTRACTS, WITH A SILVER PRICE OF $14.78.HUGE ANNUAL EFP'S ISSUANCE EQUAL TO 2.9 BILLION OZ OR 400% OF SILVER ANNUAL PRODUCTION/2017RECORD SETTING EFP ISSUANCE FOR ANY MONTH IN SILVER; APRIL/2018/ 385.75 MILLIONOZ/ AND THE SECOND HIGHEST RECORDED EFP ISSUANCE JUNE 2018 345.43 MILLION OZAND YET, WITH THE EXTREMELY HIGH EFP ISSUANCE, WE HAVE A CONTINUAL LOW PRICE OF SILVER DESPITE THE ABOVE HUGE DEMAND. TO ME THE ONLY ANSWER IS THAT WE HAVE SOVEREIGN (CHINA) WHO IS ENDEAVOURING TO GOBBLE UP ALL AVAILABLE PHYSICAL SILVER NO MATTER WHERE, EXACTLY WHAT J.P.MORGAN IS DOING. AND IT IS MY BELIEF THAT J.P.MORGAN IS HOLDING ITS SILVER FOR ITS BENEFICIAL OWNER..THE USA GOVERNMENT WHO IN TURN IS HOLDING THAT SILVER FOR CHINA.(FOR A SILVER LOAN REPAYMENT).
IN GOLD, THE OPEN INTEREST FELL BY A CONSIDERABLE SIZED 3049 CONTRACTS DOWN TO 397,688 WITH THE FALL IN THE COMEX GOLD PRICE/(A LOSS IN PRICE OF $5.60//.FRIDAY'S TRADING)
THE CME RELEASED THE DATA FOR EFP ISSUANCE AND IT TOTALED A STRONG SIZED 10,219 CONTRACTS:
DECEMBER HAD AN ISSUANCE OF 10,219 CONTACTS AND ALL OTHER MONTHS ZERO. The NEW COMEX OI for the gold complex rests at 397,688. 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. . 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 AND WE ARE WITNESSING DELAYS IN ACTUAL DELIVERIES.
IN ESSENCE WE HAVE A STRONG SIZED GAIN IN TOTAL CONTRACTS ON THE TWO EXCHANGES OF 7170 CONTRACTS: 3049 OI CONTRACTS DECREASED AT THE COMEX AND 10,219 EFP OI CONTRACTS WHICH NAVIGATED OVER TO LONDON. THUS TOTAL OI GAIN: 7170 CONTRACTS OR 717,000 OZ = 22.30 TONNES. AND ALL OF THIS DEMAND OCCURRED WITH A LOSS IN THE PRICE OF GOLD/ YESTERDAY TO THE TUNE OF $5.60???
FRIDAY, WE HAD 9668 EFP'S ISSUED.
ACCUMULATION OF EFP'S GOLD AT J.P. MORGAN'S HOUSE OF BRIBES: (EXCHANGE FOR PHYSICAL) FOR THE MONTH OF DEC : 95.966 CONTRACTS OR 9,596,600 OZ OR 298.49 TONNES (11 TRADING DAYS AND THUS AVERAGING: 8724 EFP CONTRACTS PER TRADING DAY
TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA AS TO THE HUGE SIZE OF THESE EFP TRANSFERS : THIS MONTH IN 11 TRADING DAYS IN TONNES: 298.49 TONNES
TOTAL ANNUAL GOLD PRODUCTION, 2017, THROUGHOUT THE WORLD EX CHINA EX RUSSIA: 2555 TONNES
THUS EFP TRANSFERS REPRESENTS 298.49/2550 x 100% TONNES = 11.70% OF GLOBAL ANNUAL PRODUCTION SO FAR IN JULY ALONE.***
ACCUMULATION OF GOLD EFP'S YEAR 2018 TO DATE: 7069.46 TONNES *SURPASSED ANNUAL PROD'N
ACCUMULATION OF GOLD EFP'S FOR JANUARY 2018: 653.22 TONNES (21 TRADING DAYS)
ACCUMULATION OF GOLD EFP'S FOR FEBRUARY 2018: 649.45 TONNES (20 TRADING DAYS)
ACCUMULATION OF GOLD EFP'S FOR MARCH 2018: 741.89 TONNES (22 TRADING DAYS)
ACCUMULATION OF GOLD EFP'S FOR APRIL 2018: 713.84 TONNES (21 TRADING DAYS)
ACCUMULATION OF GOLD EFP'S FOR MAY 2018: 693.80 TONNES ( 22 TRADING DAYS)
ACCUMULATION OF GOLD EFP FOR JUNE 2018 650.71 TONNES (21 TRADING DAYS)
ACCUMULATION OF GOLD EFP FOR JULY 2018 605.5 TONNES (21 TRADING DAYS)
ACCUMULATION OF GOLD EFP FOR AUG. 2018 488.54 TONNES (23 TRADING DAYS)
ACCUMULATION OF GOLD EFP FOR SEPT 2018 470.64 TONNES (19 TRADING DAYS)
ACCUMULATION OF GOLD EFP FOR OCT. 2018 543.92 TONNES (23 TRADING DAYS)
ACCUMULATION OF GOLD EFP FOR NOV 2018: 552.88 TONNES (21 TRADING DAYS)
WHAT IS ALARMING TO ME, ACCORDING TO OUR LONDON EXPERT ANDREW MAGUIRE IS THAT THESE EFP'S ARE BEING TRANSFERRED TO WHAT ARE CALLED SERIAL FORWARD CONTRACT OBLIGATIONS AND THESE CONTRACTS ARE LESS THAN 14 DAYS. ANYTHING GREATER THAN 14 DAYS, THESE MUST BE RECORDED AND SENT TO THE COMPTROLLER, GREAT BRITAIN TO MONITOR RISK TO THE BANKING SYSTEM. IF THIS IS INDEED TRUE, THEN THIS IS A MASSIVE CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD AS WE NOW WITNESS A MONSTROUS TOTAL EFP'S ISSUANCE AS IT HEADS INTO THE STRATOSPHERE.
Result: A CONSIDERABLE SIZED DECREASE IN OI AT THE COMEX OF 3049 WITH THE LOSS IN PRICING ($5.60) THAT GOLD UNDERTOOK FRIDAY) //.WE ALSO HAD A HUMONGOUS SIZED NUMBER OF COMEX LONG TRANSFERRING TO LONDON THROUGH THE EFP ROUTE: 10,219 CONTRACTS AS THESE HAVE ALREADY BEEN NEGOTIATED AND CONFIRMED. THERE OBVIOUSLY DOES NOT SEEM TO BE MUCH PHYSICAL GOLD AT THE COMEX. 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 10,219 EFP CONTRACTS ISSUED, WE HAD AN STRONG GAIN OF 7170 CONTRACTS IN TOTAL OPEN INTEREST ON THE TWO EXCHANGES:
10,219 CONTRACTS MOVE TO LONDON AND 3049 CONTRACTS DECREASED AT THE COMEX. (in tonnes, the GAIN in total oi equates to 22.30 TONNES). ..AND ALL OF THIS DEMAND OCCURRED WITH THE LOSS OF $5.60 IN YESTERDAY'S TRADING AT THE COMEX??
we had: 12 notice(s) filed upon for 1200 oz of gold at the comex.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
With respect to our two criminal funds, the GLD and the SLV:
GLD...
WITH GOLD UP $10.60 TODAY
NO CHANGE IN GOLD INVENTORY AT THE GLD
/GLD INVENTORY 763.56 TONNES
Inventory rests tonight: 763.56 tonnes.
TO ALL INVESTORS THINKING OF BUYING GOLD THROUGH THE GLD ROUTE: YOU ARE MAKING A TERRIBLE MISTAKE AS THE CROOKS ARE USING WHATEVER GOLD COMES IN TO ATTACK BY SELLING THAT GOLD. IT SURE SEEMS TO ME THAT THE GOLD OBLIGATIONS AT THE GLD EXCEED THEIR INVENTORY
SLV/
WITH SILVER UP 13 CENTS TODAY:
A HUGE CHANGE IN SILVER INVENTORY AT THE SLV
i) a withdrawal of 939,000 oz with silver rising?
/INVENTORY RESTS AT 317.796 MILLION OZ.
Let us head over to the comex:
The total gold comex open interest FELL BY A CONSIDERABLE SIZED 3049 CONTRACTS DOWN to an OI level 397,688 WITH THE LOSS IN THE PRICE OF GOLD ($5.60) IN FRIDAY'S COMEX TRADING).FOR TWO YEARS STRAIGHT WE HAVE NOTICED THAT ONE WEEK PRIOR TO FIRST DAY NOTICE OF AN ACTIVE DELIVERY MONTH THE COMEX OPEN INTEREST CONTRACTS AND EFP'S NOTICES EXPONENTIALLY INCREASE AS WELL AS WE WITNESS THE COMEX OPEN INTEREST COLLAPSE. ONCE WE GET TO FIRST DAY NOTICE, THEN THE OPEN INTEREST RISES AND AGAIN THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT US.
WE ARE NOW IN THE ACTIVE DELIVERY MONTH OF DEC.. THE CME REPORTS THAT THE BANKERS ISSUED A STRONG SIZED COMEX TRANSFER THROUGH THE EFP ROUTE AS THESE LONGS RECEIVED A DELIVERABLE LONDON FORWARD TOGETHER WITH A FIAT BONUS., THAT IS 10,219 EFP CONTRACTS WERE ISSUED:
FOR DECEMBER: 10,219 AND ZERO FOR ALL OTHER MONTHS:
TOTAL EFP ISSUANCE: 10,219 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 BASED FORWARD.
ON A NET BASIS IN OPEN INTEREST WE GAINED THE FOLLOWING TODAY ON OUR TWO EXCHANGES: 7170 TOTAL CONTRACTS IN THAT 10,219 LONGS WERE TRANSFERRED AS FORWARDS TO LONDON AND WE LOST A CONSIDERABLE SIZED 3049 COMEX CONTRACTS.
NET GAIN ON THE TWO EXCHANGES: 7170 contracts OR 717,000 OZ OR 22.30 TONNES.
We are now in the active contract month of December and we now have a total of 418 contracts stand in December so we had a loss of 66 contracts. We had 53 notices served yesterday, so we lost 13 contracts or 1300 oz will not stand as these guys morphed into London based forwards and as well as accepting a fiat bonus.
The next delivery month after December is January which saw it FALL TO 2596 FOR A LOSS OF 121 CONTRACTS. February LOST A CONSIDERABLE 3247 contracts to stand at 293,438 contracts
FOR COMPARISON TO THE 2017 CONTRACT MONTH:
ON FIRST DAY NOTICE DEC 1/2017: 37.035 TONNES STOOD FOR DELIVERY
EVENTUALLY BY DEC 31.2017: 28.592 TONNES STOOD AND THE REST MORPHED INTO LONDON BASED FORWARDS.
WE HAD 12 NOTICES FILED AT THE COMEX FOR 1200 OZ. (0.037 tonnes)
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
And now for the wild silver comex results.
Total silver OI fell BY 872 CONTRACTS FROM 174,446 DOWN TO 173,574 (AND FURTHER FROM THE NEW RECORD OI FOR SILVER SET ON AUGUST 22.2018. (THE PREVIOUS RECORD WAS SET APRIL 9.2018/ 243,411 CONTRACTS) AND TODAY'S OI COMEX GAIN OCCURRED WITH A 21 CENT FALL IN PRICING.
WE ARE NOW INTO THE ACTIVE DELIVERY MONTH OF DECEMBER AND, WE WERE INFORMED THAT WE HAD A STRONG SIZED 1919 EFP CONTRACTS:
FOR DECEMBER: 1919 CONTRACTS, FOR MARCH 0 CONTRACTS, AND ZERO FOR ALL OTHER MONTHS. THESE EFPS WERE ISSUED TO COMEX LONGS WHO RECEIVED A FIAT BONUS PLUS A DELIVERABLE PRODUCT OVER IN LONDON. THE TOTAL EFP'S ISSUED: 1919. ON A NET BASIS WE GAINED 854 SILVER OPEN INTEREST CONTRACTS AS WE OBTAINED A 872 CONTRACT LOSS AT THE COMEX COMBINING WITH THE ADDITION OF 1919 OI CONTRACTS NAVIGATING OVER TO LONDON.
NET GAIN ON THE TWO EXCHANGES: 1047 CONTRACTS...AND ALL OF THIS STRONG DEMAND OCCURRED WITH A 21 CENT LOSS IN PRICING// YESTERDAY
We are now in the non active delivery month of DECEMBER and here in this front month of December we now have 281 contracts standing for a LOSS of 22 contracts. We had 26 contracts stand for delivery yesterday so we gained 4 contracts or an additional 20,000 oz will not stand for delivery as these guys morphed into London based forwards as well as accepting a fiat bonus.
After December we have the non active January contract month and here we saw a LOSS of 50 contracts up to 1831 contracts. February saw its another 5 contract gain to stand at 112. March, the next big delivery month after December saw a LOSS of 1872 contracts down to 142,531
FOR COMPARISON TO THE COMEX 2017 CONTRACT MONTH:
ON FIRST DAY NOTICE DEC 1.2017 WE HAD A RATHER LARGE: 19.47 MILLION OZ STAND FOR DELIVERY
BY THE END OF DECEMBER: 33.295 MILLION OZ AS QUEUE JUMPING WAS THE NAME OF THE GAME IN SILVER.
.
We had 0 notice(s) filed for NIL OZ for the DEC, 2018 COMEX contract for silver
Trading Volumes on the COMEX
PRELIMINARY COMEX VOLUME FOR TODAY: 153,226 contracts,
CONFIRMED COMEX VOL. FOR YESTERDAY: 201,928 contracts
volumes at the comex for both gold and silver are much less than usual.
INITIAL standings for DEC/GOLD
DEC 17-/2018.
we had 0 dealer entries:
total dealer deposits: nil oz
total dealer withdrawals: 0 oz
We had 2 kilobar entries
we had 0 deposits into the customer account
total gold customer deposits; nil oz
we had 1 gold withdrawals from the customer account:
i) Out of Brinks:
160.755 oz was withdrawn out of Brinks (5 kilobars)
total gold withdrawing from the customer; 160.755 oz
we had 2 adjustments....and this is what I have been looking for:i) Out of HSBC: 3923.798 oz was adjusted out of the dealer and this landed into the customer account of HSBCii) Out of JPMorgan; 1929.0000 oz was adjusted out of the dealer and this landed into the customer account of JPMboth of thse adjustments would no doubt be settlements:total: 5852.798 oz or .1820 tonnes
FOR THE DEC 2018 CONTRACT MONTH)
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 12 contract(s) of which 0 notices were stopped (received) by j.P. Morgan dealer and 2 notice(s) was (were) stopped/ Received) by j.P.Morgan customer account and 7 notices by the squid (Goldman Sachs)
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxTo calculate the INITIAL total number of gold ounces standing for the DEC/2018. contract month, we take the total number of notices filed so far for the month (7273) x 100 oz , to which we add the difference between the open interest for the front month of DEC. (418 contract) minus the number of notices served upon today (12 x 100 oz per contract) equals 766,700 OZ OR 23.847 TONNES) the number of ounces standing in this active month of DECEMBER
Thus the INITIAL standings for gold for the DEC/2018 contract month:
No of notices served (7273 x 100 oz) + {418)OI for the front month minus the number of notices served upon today (12 x 100 oz )which equals 766,700 oz standing OR 23.847 TONNES in this active delivery month of DECEMBER.
WE LOST 13 CONTRACTS OR 1300 OZ WILL NOT STAND AT THE COMEX AS THEY MORPHED INTO A LONDON BASED FORWARDS AS WELL AS ACCEPTING A FIAT BONUS.
THERE ARE ONLY 22.419 TONNES OF REGISTERED COMEX GOLD AVAILABLE FOR DELIVERY AGAINST 23.847 TONNES STANDING FOR DECEMBER
total registered or dealer gold: 720,737.835 oz or 22.419 tonnes*total registered and eligible (customer) gold; 8,338,854.476 oz 259.37 tonnes*however we have 22.622 tonnes of gold ALREADY SERVED UPON against dealer inventory of 22.419 tonnes and so far we have had no settlements as of yet. We generally get a settlement when we see an adjustment from the dealer side to the customer side..we have a total of 23.847 tonnes of gold standing for metal against only 22.419 tonnes of dealer gold and .182 tonnes has been settled so far...
IN THE LAST 27 MONTHS 95 NET TONNES HAS LEFT THE COMEX.
end
And now for silver
AND NOW THE NOV DELIVERY MONTH
DEC INITIAL standings/SILVER
we had 0 inventory movement at the dealer side of things
total dealer deposits: nil oz
total dealer withdrawals: 0 oz
we had 1 deposits into the customer account
i) Into JPMorgan: nil oz
*** JPMorgan for most of 2017 and in 2018 has adding to its inventory almost every single day.
JPMorgan now has 150.55 million oz of total silver inventory or 51.03% of all official comex silver. (152.0 million/292 million)
ii) Into Delaware: 146,271.239 oz
total customer deposits today: 146,271.230 oz
we had 1 withdrawals out of the customer account:i) Out of Delaware: 1985.096 oz
total withdrawals: 195.096 oz
we had 1 adjustments
i) Out of JPMorgan 5147.300oz was adjusted out of the dealer and this landed into the customer account of JPM
and this would be deemed a settlement of one contract.
total dealer silver: 89.432 million
total dealer + customer silver: 298.087 million oz
The total number of notices filed today for the DEC 2018. contract month is represented by 0 contract(s) FOR NIL oz. To calculate the number of silver ounces that will stand for delivery in DEC., we take the total number of notices filed for the month so far at 3899 x 5,000 oz = 19,495,000 oz to which we add the difference between the open interest for the front month of DEC. (281) and the number of notices served upon today (0 x 5000 oz) equals the number of ounces standing.
.
Thus the INITIAL standings for silver for the DEC/2018 contract month: 3899(notices served so far)x 5000 oz + OI for front month of DEC( 281) -number of notices served upon today (0)x 5000 oz equals 20,900,000 oz of silver standing for the DEC contract month. This is a strong number of oz standing for an off delivery month.
We gained 4 contracts or 20,000 additional oz will stand and these guys refused to accept a London based forward as well as negate receiving a fiat bonus. The EFP route is nothing but a cash settlement process and it is done in London to avoid detection. It is becoming quite obvious that the bankers are in urgent need of silver as we witness the constant queue jumping in silver these past 20 months.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ESTIMATED VOLUME FOR TODAY: 40,533 CONTRACTS ...
CONFIRMED VOLUME FOR YESTERDAY: 69.243 CONTRACTS...
YESTERDAY'S CONFIRMED VOLUME OF 69,243 CONTRACTS EQUATES to 346 million OZ 49.4% 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
