COMEX futures, options, positioning and market structure
The Futures Desk covers the gold futures and options markets: COMEX prices and the futures curve, open interest and volume, CFTC positioning, delivery and warehouse stocks, margin changes, option expiries and the spreads between New York, London, Shanghai and Mumbai. Futures and options carry high risk and nothing here is trading advice. Our desks use AI tools to research and draft; every article is checked against named sources and edited before it is published.
