Silver Hits $82: COMEX Down to 88M oz—Empty by Feb 27?

Описание: Silver surged past $80 as COMEX registered inventories fell to 88.19 million ounces with March delivery first notice day hitting February 27th—just seven days away. March open interest represents 240 million ounces, creating a potential deficit of over 150 million ounces if delivery rates match January-February intensity.

February 2026 saw a 98% delivery rate (18.72M oz delivered from 19.11M oz open interest), and roughly 200 February contracts still demand physical settlement. Thursday's roll pace hit 30M oz—the required target—but this must hold through final March settlement days or April becomes the next critical pressure point.
