Silver today at the comex recorded an all time record for open interest and yet the price is 29 dollars cheaper. It defies commodity law!
Last night, I was up again in the early hours when I saw the bankers continue with their raid orchestrated by our crooked banks yesterday. I took a look at the daily bulletin which is an estimated OI and then I knew the reason for the raid:
the high open interest for silver (and a record high) despite silver being 29 dollars cheaper when it had its former high OI in 2011. (Oi 220,587)
the front July contract month in gold saw a huge gain in an amount standing. Now we have close to 19 tonnes standing in this a non active month. It sure looks like August will be exciting.
We are now entering options expiry month for gold and silver:
The comex options expiry on Tuesday July 26.
The OTC options in London expire Friday at noon July 29.
So expect downward drafts in gold and silver trading until both of these contracts expire.
Let us have a look at the data for today.
Several months ago the comex had 303 tonnes of total gold. Today, the total inventory rests at 311.801 tonnes for a gain of 9 tonnes over that period

In ounces, the OI is still represented by just over 1 BILLION oz i.e. 1.102 BILLION TO BE EXACT or 158% of annual global silver production (ex Russia &ex China).
