<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 26749661, member: 13650&quot;]That&#039;s how it has worked traditionally.&nbsp;&nbsp; The buyers just roll it over in paper to another contract due at a later date.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Over the past year and a half to now, demand has been for physical delivery like never seen before.&nbsp; &nbsp; The places that are demanding physical delivery need physical silver, not settled contracts for cash.&nbsp; That just means they have to go buy it from other sources that may not be as reliable over time.&nbsp;&nbsp; The Comex has been reliable but the demand is draining the supply.&nbsp; &nbsp; It can&#039;t go on like this and something will have to give.&nbsp;&nbsp; What comes of it I have no idea.&nbsp; &nbsp; If you do a search it is estimated there are 350 paper contracts sold for every 1 actual oz of silver.&nbsp;&nbsp; That works until it doesn&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>&quot;COMEX registered silver</b>—the inventory available for immediate delivery against futures contracts—is currently around 81.7 to 88.78 million ounces. As of early March 2026, this represents a tight supply, <b><u>with over 59% of that registered inventory **demanded for delivery in a single month**.</u></b></p><p>Key COMEX Silver Data (March 2026):</p><ul> <li>Registered Silver (Available): ~81.7 million ounces.</li> <li>Total Inventory (Registered + Eligible): ~349 million ounces (Total much of this amount is just stored here by investors and not available for sale. This also assumes it even exists in physical form).</li> <li>Open Interest: ~567.7 million ounces.</li> <li>Delivery Demand: March First Notice Day showed 10,526 contracts (52.63 million ounces) standing for delivery. &quot;</li> </ul><p>&nbsp; Note, we have not seen the supply rebound since the demand increased last year.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
