Same old, same old.

This week the commercials increased their short positions in both silver and gold by decreasing their long positions and increasing their short positions.

The MACD of the natural gas chart is looking interesting. WTIC is now above its 50 dma. It appears we are waiting for a black swan event that will trigger a change in the precious metals markets. Lots of them out there.

Ed Steer's comments:

The set-up in the COMEX futures market in silver is still wildly bullish, but not as white hot as it was a week ago.

and

That 'iron grip' [the commercials hold] will persist until they either voluntarily give it up...or are told to step aside, as it now appears that there's no chance that they will ever get overrun. If that possibility had ever existed in reality, it would have happened already. However, considering the current state of affairs in the world today -- and the physical shortage in silver -- and possibly in gold as well, I suppose one shouldn't rule it out entirely.

Check out the graphs labelled "Position: Short" under the tradingster links here and here.












Mario provided us with links to the following charts. The black line in the second to last chart shows the commercial net short position.

I've posted the two reports again as I am more use to the legacy report than the disaggregated report.
