Can’t happen, I don’t think because gold storage is plentiful unlike oil’s.

May oil futures contracts couldn’t get rolled over, so delivery had to be made at designated Cushing, OK facility. But it had no storage due to glut.

Never a glut of gold, no storage issues foreseeable if delivery necessary.

There’d have to be another mechanism.

GLD is backed by physical, another substantial difference.

Anything is possible, but I cannot think of the mechanism other than government action confiscating gold.

What do you think?
