November Delivery; A Comex Odyssey

By now, we all know that the process of Comex metal delivery is shady and deliberately opaque. What has transpired these past few weeks only strengthens this belief.
I’ve written several times in the past about the perfect and precise additions to, and subtractions from, the JPM eligible gold vault.

Remember how this works…There are six months per year that are considered “delivery” months for Comex gold. Though an entity may stand for delivery of any contract, the vast majority of the deliveries are made in February, April, June, August, October (to a lesser extent) and December (typically the busiest delivery month of the year). You can see this on the chart below:
