Does this table support what you say?

I think so. It appears that as of the end of August, there were some fairly strong short positions taken by the commercial traders. Certainly higher than in July or earlier in August, but not quite as strong as last year during the same time frame.

A lot more detail from a presumably comprehensive and more timely source is linked below. Yes, lots of short gold positions outstanding. Whether this is unusual is unknown to me as I haven't looked for historical data because, frankly, I could care less. Traders trade, I like to hoard for the long term.
