Jun withdrawals are now ~18.5% of Jun26 delivery requests.

COMEX Commentary​

Wednesday's 32 ozt net withdrawal replaces a 3K ozt net withdrawal in the 5 DMA window so the withdraw rate shrunk slightly. This afternoon we get the report for yesterday's activity and if it posts a net withdrawal, the 5 DMA rate will grow significantly as it will replace a large net deposit that will roll out of the window.

Yesterday there were 2,220 contract delivery requests posted. It's a big number for a relatively quiet month so far. We're approaching the end of the June contract. Will voltility increase?
