The total gold comex open interest fell today by 1657 contracts from 442,341 down to 440,684, with gold falling by $32.00 on Friday. With such a whack in gold one would have thought that the OI would have contracted more. We no doubt had a few new ball players enter the arena at these lower prices for gold. The front non active delivery month of May saw its OI rise by 506 contracts down up to 635. However we had 8 delivery notices filed on Friday. Thus we gained 514 contracts or 51,400 additional gold ounces will stand for delivery in May. The next active contract month is June and here the OI fell by 4434 contracts to 218,379 as most of these paper players rolled into August. June is the second biggest delivery month in gold's calender and first day notice is less than 3 weeks away. The estimated volume today was poor at 144,354 contracts. The confirmed volume on Friday was also very strong at 267,884 contracts.



The total silver Comex OI surprisingly rose by 142 contracts from 145,324 down to 145,466 with silver's fall in price of 25 cents on Friday. The front active silver delivery month of May saw it's OI fall by 215 contracts down to 732. We had 220 delivery notices filed on Friday so we gained 5 contracts or an additional 25,000 oz will stand for delivery in May. The next delivery month for silver is June and here the OI fell by 30 contracts to stand at 374. The next big active contract month is July and here the OI fell by 341 contracts to rest tonight at 78,796. The estimated volume today was fair, coming in at 31,259 contracts. The confirmed volume on Friday was very good at 57,113.
