One 7/15, the commencement of their attack on gold @ 893, commerical short position was 247K contracts. Last week it was reduced to 76K--the lowest short position since 6/05.

Once again, supply for the latter must eventually be met which, IMO, equates to either contract delivery from the Comex or higher paper prices to reduce demand as other supply sources are contracting: mining production, central bank sales, producer hedging, and recycled gold.
