COMEX 期貨報錯價... Silver at $34,000/oz, Gold at $17,700/oz

 可能真係有呢一日架

 

Freudian Glitch? COMEX Futures Lists Silver at $34,000/oz, Gold at $17,700/oz

 

Did COMEX futures just reveal a Freudian glitch?  Futures data this morning indicated a value of $34,000/oz for silver, and $17,716/oz for gold!

The misquoted prices reflect a 1:2 price ratio with silver being 2x as valuable as gold.  Was somebody trying to communicate the fact that future gold to silver value ratio will go from 50:1 to 1:2, with silver prices rising 100 times faster than gold’s?

SD reader Plebian asks:
A ‘glitch’ in futures prices this morning showed charts with gold price quoted at $17,700/oz and silver at $34,000/oz.
Questions:
1) Why did glitches occur for both gold and silver, since they’re independent commodities traded on separate symbols?
2) Why was gold off by a factor of 10, but silver by a factor of 1,000?
3) The misquoted prices reflect a 1:2 price ratio with silver being 2x as valuable as gold.  Was somebody trying to communicate the fact that future gold to silver value ratio will go from 50:1 to 1:2, with silver prices rising 100 times faster than gold’s?


Thankfully for stackers, physical silver can still be acquired for ~$35/oz, and gold under $1900/oz.
One day soon such a COMEX quote might not be a ‘glitch’.

Got silver??
