EFP Commentary​

Jun26 EFP spread moves strongly negative. This probably is sufficient arbitrage profit to encourage sending gold to London/LBMA.

MCX Aug26 [GOLD 1kg] : $4,787.56 (less 15% BCD+AISD = $4,069.42)
IBJA PM spot : $4,702.62 (less 15% BCD+AISD = $3,997.23)

What is happening in China? The SGE-LBMA spot premium is shrinking and the SFE-SGE (futures-spot) premium has turned to a discount. This has occured with both gold and silver.

Tuesday's 223K net withdrawal replaces a 15K ozt deposit in the 5 DMA window so the withdraw rate grew significantly.
