Here are the following closes for gold and SILVER TODAY:

Silver $15.35 up 20 cents.
In the access market 5:15 pm

Silver: $15.40
First, here is an outline of what will be discussed tonight:
At the gold comex today, we had a poor delivery day, registering 0 notices for nil ounces . Silver saw 38 notices filed for 190,000 oz.
Several months ago the comex had 303 tonnes of total gold. Today, the total inventory rests at 248.23 tonnes for a loss of 55 tonnes over that period.
In silver, the open interest fell by a considerable 5,431 contracts despite the fact that Wednesday’s price was up by 20 cents. The total silver OI continues to remain extremely high, with today’s reading at 191,661 contracts now at decade highs despite a record low price. In ounces, the OI is represented by .958 billion oz or 139% of annual global silver production (ex Russia ex China). This dichotomy has been happening now for quite a while and defies logic. There is no doubt that the silver situation is scaring our bankers to no end as they continue to raid as basically they have no other alternative. There can only be one answer as to how the OI of COMEX SILVER is now just under 1 billion oz coupled with a low price under 16.00 dollars: sovereign China through proxies are the long and they have extremely deep pockets.
In SILVER WE had 38 notices served upon for 190,000 oz.
In gold, the total COMEX GOLD OI rests tonight at 453,498 for a gain of 1,353 contracts as gold was up $10.90 yesterday. We had 0 notices filed for nil oz today.
We had no change in tonnage at the gold inventory at the GLD; thus the inventory rests tonight at 709.65 tonnes. The appetite for gold coming from China is depleting not only gold from the LBMA and GLD but also the comex is bleeding gold. I am sure that 700 tonnes is the rock bottom inventory in gold. Anything below this level is just paper and the bankers know that they cannot retrieve ‘paper gold’ to send it onwards to China . In silver, we had a huge addition in inventory at the SLV to the tune of 1.337 million oz/ Inventory now rests at 326.542 million oz.
We have a few important stories to bring to your attention today…
