Below is an important update on the war that is raging in the gold and silver markets.
The following charts are from Jason Goepfert at SentimenTrader.
King World News note: Below you can see the commercial hedgers position in the silver market market. Note that commercial hedgers covered a bit of their short positions on the recent action in the price of silver (see multi-year chart below).
The commercial shorts remain at a level (real-time) that raises serious concern. In fact, the commercials are still close to one of their largest short positions in history. The last time the commercials held this large of a short position in silver was in 2008. Again, that does not mean that the price of silver cannot head significantly higher in the short-term.
The next chart takes a look at gold…

King World News note: Below you can see the commercial hedgers position in the gold market. Note that commercial hedgers have been adding a bit to their short positions on the recent surge in the price of gold (see multi-year chart below).
King World News note: Again, sometimes it’s important to take a step back and look at the big picture in the gold market (see fascinating 23-year chart below).
The commercials were never this concentrated in terms of their short position in gold until after 2004. This means there could still be a lot of room to the upside in the gold market, but the current leg of the advance has now reached a danger zone in terms of the commercial short position in gold.
