Where Will the Gold Come From? COMEX Looks To Be Short 50 Tons of Gold for June Delivery!

Submitted by Bill Holter:

As you know, May COMEX gold which traditionally is a non event was anything but this year. Last year, a total of 2,500 ounces stood for delivery, this year the number was 221,000 ounces. The amount standing on April 30 was 5.6 tons which steadily grew throughout the month to 6.89 tons. This “growth” throughout the month is something that has never happened before to my knowledge.

Now we get the first notice day for June and it’s a whopper! 15,493 contracts are standing for delivery which equates to 1.5493 million ounces or 48.193 tons (last year June had 26.3 tons stand for delivery which bled down during the month). COMEX claims 23 tons of registered gold. There appears to be 17 tons from prior months PLUS the 6.8 tons of May standing that this 23 tons will need to service. The 48 tons for June is EXTREMELY heavy, what will happen if June copies May and the amount standing grows by 20%.

Where will this gold come from?
As I wrote last week, the “buyer(s)” seem to be different for the May expiration. Rather than the amount standing bleeding down during the delivery period, it increased steadily all month. In the past, it has been my and others’ contention that COMEX was paying premiums to make those standing for delivery go away. It has made ZERO sense at all for longs to fully fund their accounts to make purchase and then mysteriously evaporate and go away. The only thing that makes sense is premiums were offered and accepted. This strategy appears to have failed miserably for May. It is possible that those standing for June gold, saw what happened in May and now have queued up in fear.
This bares watching very closely.

COMEX looks to be nearly 50 tons short of what needs to be delivered. Can they entice “eligible” (stored customer) gold to move and serve delivery?

We will know shortly!

I might add on a separate topic, OPEC has a meeting this Thursday. We have speculated Saudi Arabia would at some point announce they will accept yuan for oil settlement.

What would an announcement such as this do to a lopsided delivery for COMEX gold?

Standing watch,

Bill Holter

I would swear by sprott pm trusts. but I think its more for the holdings long term and not a tradeable. its especially good for holding silver which is real difficult in hand for storage of glumpy bars that come 20 to a pallet and you need a forklift too. rather have sprott store the silver and yes an honest etf fund doing a silver or gold or platinum trust take your pick. my silver holding is in the silver trust imo a very secure etf. in fact I hold the cert in trust to my grandkids. that’s how sure I am of the integrity of sprott funds and trusts. hope this helps. wankajohn wj

Option buyers are 4 to 1 in favour of puts in the miners.

As mining stocks rally, option bears are on the prowl

But if you gotta do it, please go over to Sprott and investigate their ETF’s. At least you won’t be providing ammunition to the enemy to use on us the way Obama has been providing it to ISIS.

Let your conscience be your guide Man. It’s not worth selling your soul to the devil for a few dirty dollars……and just remember my Friend….what goes around comes around!!

Egad!  I thought we raised you better than that around here!

I already have about 30 Canadian juniors so I’m quite familiar with that slice of the market, but thanks for the advice!

I agree that holding a ‘core’ of solid miners is a must in hopes of gaining some reward in the future. And taking some profits along the way to purchase the best investment of all, physical ounces.

What I am looking to do for the moment, is to find ways to hasten the profits in my account and IF etf’s can provide the needed leverage I intend, with some luck, to take some of that bankster fiat and add to pile of ounces. In other words, Im going to change my buy em and hold em strategy in part to a more mercenary approach. Hopefully hit em for a few bucks and get out, to live another day. So far, my experience has been touch and go with the etf’s. Partly because I am new to that particular vehicle, and also in part because as you and Ipso point out, it is a rigged game and Im not sure I still understand the rules. Which appear to be stacked in their favor.

Thank you for your input. If I discover any chinks in the Wall St armor I will let you know. (grin)

This is my opinion and I have yet to see anything to change my mind. As Ipso stated, ETF’s are nothing but derivatives!! Aside from Sprott, they were created by ENEMIES of PM’s, not their friends. They were created by banks and brokerages for the purpose of controlling whatever sector the ETF represents for the profit of the institution that created them. The key word in the charter of all these ETF’s is TRACK. They all state that they TRACK the stocks their ETF represents. Nowhere do they say they own or buy the shares they represent, although it is possible they could for the purpose of shorting the stocks in the ETF’s they track thus nullifying your purchase. So IMO these ETF’s, aside from Sprott, are nothing more than giant slush funds to control the markets, and I personally refuse to play their game.

Far better to buy the actual stocks that represent actual ownership in the sector. To do otherwise is just shooting yourself and everyone else in the foot. All in my Silverngold opinion!!

TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – In the wake of stabilising commodity prices led by a gold rally in the first quarter, the Brazilian mining sector is set to play host to increased investment and mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity. Host to miners such as Yamana Gold and spin-out Brio Gold, Eldorado Gold, Belo Sun Mining, Brazil Resources, Crusader Resources and Anfield Nickel, gold was expected to take much of the limelight in terms of improving investment and M&A activity over the next few years on the back of an improving gold price, according to research firm BMI Research, an affiliate of the Fitch Group Companies.

In its latest ‘Industry Trend Analysis’ sent to Creamer Media’s Mining Weekly Online on Wednesday, BMI had found that much of the activity over the coming quarters would be spurred by major producers looking to sell core assets in a bid to reduce debt loads. “Although Brazil’s gold sector contributes a relatively small proportion to the mining industry value, we expect improving gold prices to spur particular interest in projects in Brazil,” BMI stated. The firm had recently upgraded its target gold price to $1 500/oz by 2020, on the back of increasing inflatory pressure, expecting gold prices to edge higher over the coming months to average $1 275/oz in 2016. According to BMI research, higher gold prices would boost miners’ plans to restart or accelerate development of projects in Brazil. For example, Canada-based Belo Sun Mining had in March received a $4.4-million investment from Sun Valley Gold for an 18.2% stake, and a $4.7-million investment from Agnico Eagle Mines for about a 20% stake. Belo Sun had stated that it would direct the proceeds toward the engineering and development of the Volta Grande gold project, which was suspended in 2013 over an environmental licence delay. Further, on May 9, Yamana Gold announced its $52-million purchase of the Riacho dos Machados gold project, from Carpathian Gold. In the first quarter, Lara Exploration announced plans to acquire the early-stage Serrita and Tocantins gold projects and Anfield Nickel-acquired Magellan Minerals for about $19-million to develop the Coringa gold project.

Four active mining companies you should be watching

Thanks for setting me straight. I’m not familiar with those Sprott mining ETFs.

it’s not GDXJ…it’s the newish Sprott miners ETF…SGDM…for the senior miners and SGDJ for the Juniors.

Pleasure,

I haven’t done all the maths but in the PM Miner ETF’s, NUGT the 3 times Bull is currently $ 75 …GDX is 22.80…u can buy 3 GDX for well less than 1 NUGT and have no gap problems.

I just checked the Sprott SGDM…that is @ 21.00…3 of those are way less than 1 NUGT !!!!!!!!
