Actual withdrawals in Jun ozt = 635,512.34

COMEX Commentary​

Monday's 550K ozt net deposit shrunk the 5 DMA deposit rate as a 1.5M ozt deposit rolls out of the 5 DMA window.

Monday marks the second day in a row with zero silver adjusting between [R] and [E] while withdrawals have been less than 6% of Jun26 delivery requests. Is this a normal market reaction to lower price, or indicative of the COMEX market losing real customers?

421K ozt (13.1t)
Remaining Vault Stock = 29,462,300 ozt

A 421K outflow replaces a 191K inflow in the 5 DMA window and the withdrawal rate grows significantly.
