with rates of 5% and rising to beat, and increased margin requirements across the board, the hedgies have no option but to seriously reduce their bets on the metals ponzi... expect a 30+% correction from the peaks over the next few weeks... as for silver, thats a by-product of copper production, therefore the more copper is produced, the more silver... dont expect demand to exceed supply there....
One of the Goldman Sachs metals strategists believes a 4 month correction is in the works. 30% of 15 as the most recent top in silver would imply 10-ish as the bottom. Seems plausible. I would then think a resumption of the bull trend. We'll see.....
I have a futures broker that has future source real time, If you pick around the NYMEX site, it's there someplace in the metals section... they may post it a day later oopps...the number was as of today
