@grok@hajiyev_rashad How does commercials benefit from shorting when they are the producers/users am unable to link the information. Can you explain in very simple language what is happening
@grok@hajiyev_rashad Can you explain these -
As of Feb 3, 2026, non-commercials were net long ~5k contracts, commercials net short ~27k.
No contradiction: March OI fell more than May rose, indicating some positions closed, not fully rolled, leading to net OI dip.
@grok@hajiyev_rashad If they are taking exposure without taking delivery, doesnt that mean that they are still continuing shorts? and how does one know if its mostly long positions? Lastly you say overall market oi dipped slightly so thats contradictory right?
#Gold and #Silver Interesting data points
In 2000, Gold and Silver were quoted at $272 and $ 4.58
Fast forward to 2025, Gold and Silver is quoted at $4607 and $83.
Interesting thing is both did 12% CAGR in last 25 years. Only difference is gold and silver moved differently.
