Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen:

Here are your numbers for Thursday, Feb 28.2013:


For gold it looks like 149500 oz will stand as that is the OI for March. (1495 x 100 oz per contract)
Or 4.6 tonnes of gold, which is extremely high for a non delivery month.

The total OI for the gold complex was up only 458 contracts.

Gold Buyers

The OI for April  lowers from 247,653 down to 244,812.


\In silver:  total OI rises to 145,388

The OI for the upcoming MaRCH  contract falls dramatically down to 2597.

The next delivery month of April rises to 76,682 from 70,980.

The volume today was good at 47,026.

The amount of silver that will stand for delivery is only 12,985,000 oz.

The data seems very weird.


Preliminary data for this morning.

Open interest for entire silver complex from 153,319  down to 145,620
Open interest for the front March contract month  9411 contracts or  47,055 ,000 oz
Volume yesterday in silver  78,901


and the first day notice deliveries  799 or 3,995,000 oz


Data for gold:


Open interest falls to 433,750  from 439,990

Open interest for the front March contract:  1,499 contracts or 1,499,000 oz

Open interest for the next May contract  247,653

Volume  184,695 contracts

First day delivery notices:  1,383 contracts or 138,300 oz or approximately 4.3 tonnes of gold

March being a  non delivery month.

Since we had major shortcovering on a high gain in silver and gold price, the OI data seems very suspect.  For the OI in silver to fall so badly during a huge gain just does not make sense.  It looks to me like they are fudging the data.

I will report very late tonight to you  (probably in the early morning hours) on first day notice
