As we approach the middle of the month, here are the trends we’re seeing in the COMEX, along with a little more data on the national debt.
Based on COMEX data, gold is set to have another strong month in April, which is not surprising given the lead-up.
The big action in silver occurred early in the month, making March a pretty large outlier. First, it continues the recent trend of increasing deliveries. Second, deliveries were 8.7% of the max open interest for the month. This is the highest percentage since July 2020 when prices took off. There are still 24 open interest contracts remaining.
