Open Interest Exhaustion

While I said we have a lot of OI Exhaustion this week I am showing you only the most interesting.

A selling(commercials) | buying (non-commercials) exhaustion may soon follow, along with a trend change.

GOLD | XAUUSD | WEEKLY

Gold is well above the Open Interest Trend Change Threshold, and it’s also a very interesting weekly supply zone. Check this small find the News Summarization tool found for us:

…many big banks lowered their trading limits on the Comex exchange in New York, the biggest gold futures market, creating a lack of liquidity that pushed prices there above prices in London, the main hub for trading physical gold, and elsewhere. “This makes the yen very attractive, especially against the pound and dollar, where real rates are not just negative but in the case of the Fed, they are actively seeking lower rates out.
The divergence created a lucrative opportunity for banks who have the infrastructure to buy metal outside the United States and deliver it to New York to profit on the difference, especially during a pandemic, when investor demand has pushed gold prices to record levels of around $2,000 an ounce. Reduced trading by large banks also drove prices of later-dated futures far above near-dated ones — an opportunity for those with gold to sell it forward for more than enough money to cover the cost of storage and capital.
CME provides little data showing activity of individual actors on its market, but numbers that are available show banks including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Citi have ramped up trade in gold in vaults registered with the exchange in recent months, either delivering metal or accepting bars which they can sell forward. With profits running high, not only from Comex but also from trading, financing and storing gold outside the futures exchange, some banks are hiring.
