Tells me they are really getting desperate. Need more hours to control it and with less liquidity. No other reason to pick SIlver.

Here's the CME press release regarding the 24/7 trading of the 100 ozt contract:

CME Group to Expand 24/7 Trading to 100-Ounce Silver Futures After Gold's Strong Debut​

By CME Group
11 Aug 2026

• 24/7 trading in silver commences September 11
• Over $200M traded in weekend sessions for 1-Ounce Gold futures since July 24 launch

CHICAGO, Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CME Group, the world's leading derivatives marketplace, today announced that it will expand 24/7 trading to its 100-Ounce Silver futures contract from September 11, 2026, pending regulatory review.

"Silver bridges the precious and industrial metals worlds, acting as a diversifier for investors that responds to both macroeconomic news and real-world demand," said Jin Hennig, Managing Director and Global Head of Metals at CME Group. "Our retail clients have shown a strong appetite for right-sized gold futures available whenever they need them, so we are now extending that same 24/7 access to help participants manage risk and pursue opportunities in silver."

Since 24/7 trading in 1-Ounce Gold futures launched on July 24, over 53,000 contracts have traded during the newly expanded weekend trading sessions, representing approximately $219 million in notional value and is the largest liquidity pool for weekend trading in Gold futures. Both the 1-Ounce Gold and 100-Ounce Silver futures are designed to be right-sized for retail trading, with a smaller notional exposure.

CME Group offers the world's leading benchmark futures contract for silver. A record $50 billion average notional traded each day across CME Group's silver futures in the first half of the year. 100-Ounce Silver futures launched in February 2026, with 17,800 contracts ADV traded in the first half of 2026. CME Group's metals business set a new record in the first half of 2026, with a total of 1.3 million contracts traded daily driven by precious metals activity, up 55% year-on-year.

100-Ounce Silver futures are financially-settled based on the daily settlement price of the global benchmark COMEX 5,000-Ounce Silver futures contract and are listed by and subject to the rules of COMEX. For more information, ...

As far as I can tell, that last sentence means the 100ozt silver contract is a pure paper casino vehicle. Contracts are not redeemable for physical, they are "financially-settled".

So, basically, most of these futures contracts are like Kalshi prediction markets, sports betting, and other gambling venues.

Nothing traded on the CME should be considered "real".

They are trying to profit by controlling the market and if they lose control they will stack the deck since they are the house. Like I said in a precious post, I trust the Chinese way more with their cash and carry market as long as the bars are real.
