I'm wondering why miniGold (YG) March has such a low volume compared to the February contract since the latter will run into FirstNoticeDay in a few days?! Surprising for me is, that in miniSilver (YI) it's the opposite, e.g. March Volume is higher than February Volume. Is there a rational reason I've missed?
The minis tend to lag in volume on most contracts - anywere you should be rolling over to April Gold and not March.
The liquid contract months for Gold (both mini and full) are: Feb · Apr · Jun · Aug · Dec The liquid contract months for Silver (both mini and full) are: Mar · May · Jul · Sep · Dec The only one they have in common is December.
