Silver Shorts Face a December Test

Vince Lanci says silver shorts will be tested in December

Physical buying could put this month’s new shorts under pressure as December approaches.

Authored by GoldFix 

In today’s GoldFix Market Rundown, Vince Lanci covers a Goldman report finding speculative traders added billions in silver shorts before November’s rebound. He argues these new shorts are shallow, poorly informed about spread mechanics, and vulnerable as physical demand returns from India and Europe ahead of December’s expiration.
