COMEX Commentary​

Friday's 382K ozt net withdrawal shrunk the 5 DMA deposit rate as a 711K ozt deposit rolls out of the 5 DMA window.

Tomorrow a huge 1.4M ozt deposit rolls out of the 5 DMA window and it is possible the deposit rate could flip back to a withdraw rate if there is a decent sized net withdrawal posted. We'll see.
