As you know, the lease rate is LIBOR minus GOFO and the same applies for silver. If they don't report the silver forward rates, you can't get the lease rate anymore, because we lost a parameter of the equation. James Turk says that the LBMA is underreporting on the silver forward rate. It's reporting contango, but actually it should be in backwardation. When gold and silver are in backwardation, that means we will have high probability of getting inflation.
That's what I'm making of this, unless there is someone who can give another explanation for the flat curve here:
Chart 1: Silver Lease Rate |
One thing is certain. If gold lease rates go up, the GOFO goes down and that means the gold goes in backwardation. And that also means that silver is going in backwardation. That ultimately means that you should buy silver when silver lease rates go up.
If this event of the LBMA isn't a reason to buy silver, I don't know what is.
And finally, isn't it a coincidence that the silver priced started to move up just when the curve went flat (Chart 1)?
