COMEX 5 DMA run rate 1,075d (from 2,085d)

COMEX 6-23​

ozt

73K ozt (2.3t) from Asahi

20K ozt (0.6t) moved from [R] to [E] in Brinks (6K), JPM (14K)

COMEX Run Rate​

Remaining Vault Stock = 27.8M ozt (15M [R], 12.8M [E])

Net withdraw rate through last 5 days = 26K/day (from 13K/day)

Total vault stock run rate = 27.8M / 26K = ~1,075 (working) days (~54 months) (from 2,085d)

COMEX Jun26​

Jun26 contract cumulative deliveries = 38,614
Jun26 contract equivalent ozt = 3,861,400
Actual withdrawals in Jun ozt = 753,761.78

Jun withdrawals are now ~19.5% of Jun26 delivery requests.

COMEX Commentary​

Tuesday's 73K ozt net withdrawal replaces a 10K ozt net withdrawal in the 5 DMA window so the withdraw rate doubled.

GLD Assets​

World Gold Trust Services:1.5M shares
JPM:ozt
HSBC:ozt
ozt/shares ratio 0.092605 (from 0.092215)

Two days in a row for shares to drop (3.1M total shares expunged) without any corresponding vault stock drain. Curious.
