Something Just Snapped At The Comex (Updated)<\/a><\/h3>\n

Update:\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Earlier today, we said that we would “keep a close eye on today’s Comex update to see if JPM reverses this “adjustment” and adds at least a few more tons of deliverable gold to its vault.”\u00a0<\/em>Moments ago we got the\u00a0daily update\u00a0<\/a>form the Comex and not only did JPM not reverse its\u00a0registered to eligible adjustmen<\/em>t, but more curiously, the second largest vault, that of Scotia Mocatta (behind only HSBC) saw a comparable adjustment, whereby 16,644 ounces of gold, or about half a ton, and 14% of its vault total, were adjusted away from “registered” and into the “eliglble” category.<\/p>\n

This means that the already record low total registered holding across the Comex system, declined once again this time by 8.3% and hit a new all time low of 185,315, or less than 6 tons.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This means that what was already a record dilution factor, with over 200 ounces of paper gold claims for every ounce of deliverable gold, just soared even more, and following today’s 8% drop, there is now a unprecedented 228 ounces of paper claims for every ounce of deliverable “registered” gold.<\/p>\n

Just\u00a0over one month ago<\/a>, when looking at the latest changes in registered gold held at the Comex ,we were stunned not only by the collapse in this series to a record low of just over 350k ounces or barely over 10 tons, but also by the surge in “gold coverage”, or the amount of paper gold claims on physical gold, which exploded to a record high 124 per ounce.<\/p>\n
