      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).

      Obvious trade here is short Mar futures long May futures.

      Fair point! My reasoning is that there is no particular fundamental reason for silver to trade lower (or at any price really) but there is a fundamental reason (interest rates) for the spread to go negative.

      Well this aged incredibly badly and is the reason I try not to make discretionary calls! Current backwardation is the largest *ever* in the data I have (1990-present)https://twitter.com/Fullcarry/status/1356159548822876162 …

      If we look from carry stand point, should we go long the Mar contract instead of shorting it to clip the backwardated yield?

      Replying to @thodoha @Value_Quant

      Normally yes (backwardated futures curve so carry is positive) but in this case the Mar future also trades at a premium to spot. Normally Spot < Mar < May, if backwardated May < Mar < Spot, but here we have Spot < May < Mar

          Ah I did miss out the spot. If I recall correctly, the front month contract is treated as "spot" in commodity carry factor, but with actual spot then the picture is different as you said.

          Yes, commodity carry strategies generally use front month minus far month (in academia anyway -- in practice you need to do much more to make it useful -- e.g. at minimum account for seasonality in the futures curve)
