COMEX Commentary
I'm just now starting to watch COMEX gold closely. I should start posting more metrics/analysis like I do with silver once we start receiving June data.
GLD Assets
World Gold Trust Services:
800K sharesJPM:
oztHSBC:
oztShares down 800K and ozt unchanged. Was yesterday's 92K drain front running today's share drain (it wasn't large enough to account for 800K shares though)? Does GLD not move shares & vault stock in tandem like SLV does? Need to watch this a bit more to get a feel for how it flows.
SFE
SHFE has a web page purportedly reporting the Daily Warrants for gold futures just like it does for silver futures, but the gold futures page doesn't list the vault locations or apparently updated data. It always has the same number posted so I don't think it is correct information. I'm not sure if the SHFE gold vault info is public data (or where to find it if it is).
