Gave in to temptation. Silver futs obviously up but what’a more interesting is the basis (Mar delivery minus May delivery) is positive — for the last thirty years it has been between -0.2 and 0 except for a couple of periods of stress in the physical silver mkt.
Currently sitting at +0.04 and has been trending upward, indicating either high demand for physical silver, or people just unthinkingly piling into the nearest expiry futures contract (probably hit of both).
