Previous report: https://www.pmbug.com/threads/gold-market-260606.9001/

We did see large volumes again on Friday in that mess. However, its very curious to me the difference between OI in Gold and Silver. Someone came in and OI increased over 2,000 contracts here in Gold Friday. But yet OI in Silver (which was down much more) declined in both June and July....

I think these must be bankers buying and have been told Silver is off limits.
