Verified CME Group Sources

We built an automated pipeline that monitors CME Group's official reports every 30 minutes. When CME publishes new data (usually after 6 PM ET), our system detects the change via content-hashing and pulls the updated numbers within minutes. Every version gets archived so we can track historical changes. No manual data entry, no third-party feeds — straight from the source.

CME overwrites these static URLs daily; our system captures the unique state of each file as it's published.

Inventory data typically updates after 6:00 PM ET on trading days.

Why We Built This Tracker

By Austin & Matt — tracking COMEX warehouse data since 2022

We started tracking COMEX deliveries because the mainstream financial media rarely covers what's actually happening in physical metal markets. COMEX is where futures contracts for gold, silver, copper, and other metals are traded — but here's what most people miss: while most contracts settle in cash, some buyers demand actual physical metal.

Why We Watch Deliveries

In our years covering these markets on the podcast, we've learned that delivery data tells a story paper trading doesn't. When buyers "stop" contracts for delivery, they're saying "I want the real thing." High delivery demand relative to warehouse inventory often precedes price moves that catch paper traders off guard.

Our "Squeeze" Framework

After analyzing hundreds of delivery reports, we look for three signals together: declining registered inventory + elevated stops + banks (house accounts) taking delivery. When we see this pattern, it often means the smart money is quietly accumulating physical metal ahead of something.

Sources: Data pulled directly from CME Group official warehouse reports. We verify every data point against the source files linked above. Questions? Hit us up on Twitter/X or catch our weekly metals breakdown on the YouTube channel.

This is commentary based on publicly available data, not financial advice. We're just two guys who think physical delivery data matters more than Wall Street wants you to know.
