lance lewis speculates on the possiblility of a short squeeze next month. the g20 meeting is on november 15:
As GOFO moves closer to going negative, we get closer to seeing gold move into backwardation, which is fairly rare and uber bullish. Is the physical market tightening simply due to the continued high rate of physical demand and European central banks pulling in their leased gold/not rolling over leases? Is it related to the market sniffing out what you are implying might happen on the COMEX? Or is this related to the gold market sniffing out a potential dollar negative at the coming G20? Or is it all of the above?
I have no idea, but the last time we saw GOFO collapse like this (see the chart below), it was in the days leading up the Washington Agreement (and gold's ensuing 40% upside explosion on the news).
