Gold will likely start to recover over the next few days to weeks to its pre-Iran-strike price of $5300-5400/toz. With rising stagflation concerns and increasing geopolitical uncertainty, investors will turn to back speculative commodities, like gold, as a hedge. CME lowering margin rates for gold and silver also acts as a nice tailwind.

So you check CBOE and not CME. Highly regarded. Btw today at 8.30 most bullish jobs report ever. Did you see yesterday DJT live speech? I will personally assure financial oil doesn't spike further. I recently achieved DOW 50k, also a highest S&P, you know, people said those where 4y goal and I did it in one. You know we are in the golden age 🪙 lmao

Great write up. I havent tracked the options prices themselves but that sounds interesting ill have to look into that. I pay for the mid tier TV and CME live prices so im curious if the options would be as well.

I'll differentiate between charting & trading platforms. For my simple stock charting (EW & Fib) I prefer ChartIQ from CME on Yahoo. For forex, I prefer MT4 w/StoneX. For placing option / stock orders currently with Schwab & simply login & trade thru the web. Recently learned that Tasty Trade offers their desktop on Linux which I'll be testing on Zorin OS as a possible replacement for schwab as a broker. fwiw.. if you see my lack of studies / indicators on a chart you would most likely laugh.

ecoburner87

so, stocks pumped, crypto pumped, DXY pumped, and bond yields pumped (aka US bonds sold) - silver, gold, copper, and all miners tanked... why? my theory: MMs/CME/Treasury/Fed are working together to give institutions/big $ an off-ramp from US equities... no big selloff, no shock to the system. but how? why? 1. institutions used the morning to pull out of PAPER metals positions, bringing all metal numbers down, DXY up. 2. DXY and BTC have been correlated for a while now, so DXY action gave BTC a pump. 3. by bringing down metals for the day, liquidity fills out into tech/small caps for a few hours. where it all goes from here is anybody's guess, but i think every move that's happened today so far, except for BONDS SELLING OFF/yields going up, were all fake moves to avert the appearance of a market crash. the market "crash" will be lengthened over weeks.

DumbbellPadawan

I hope there’s a massive uptick at CME open so I can put on a massive 1DTE short position and lock in some overprice premium on the IV spike.

g3tr1ghttt

What else is there to buy? So called “defensive” stocks are sitting at historically elevated valuations, too crowded already, you’re paying more for a burger flipper company than for Microsoft. Precious metals is a crowded trade, plus there is no physical metal to cover the withdrawals, custodian vaults are about to dry up, what do you think CME would do if there’s such a risk? Check the Hunt Brothers story. Everything related to short term volatility like defense contractors, oil and gas companies is overcrowded by bulls, and when volatility drops, it annihilates all these companies in an instant rather than a slow bleed. I just don’t see Berkshire playing a short term game here, they usually hunt for underpriced stocks, and there are no more obvious picks as of today but Tech.

I earnestly hope that 🌽 pumps into tomorrow’s CME open. Going to short the shit out of /BTC front month.

COMEX/CME can't keep silver down forever especially with the insane demand and reserves being low AF in Shangai. US market is already basically fake, with Shangai being almost 90% physical delivery on futures, and their reserves basically 10 year low, is all you need to know about silver. Paper silver is gonna expose Comex and probably make companies distrust it and not use it at all, with China gaining the upper hand yet again

CME halting on "Technical difficulties"  Fucking "problem" is them over selling and periodically pulling blatantly corrupt shit to shake out leveraged buyers and jack margin requirements.

Affectionate-Idea690

Bruh when wall street built their trading machine they have one in Chicago with no vents and parts of still from the cold war...and it broke down recently... On November 27, 2025, the CME's electronic "trading machine" (the Globex platform) suffered a massive 10-hour shutdown. This global disruption was caused by a cooling system failure at a CyrusOne data center in the Chicago area, freezing prices for oil, gold, and equity futures until engineers could restart the chillers 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

You say after CME takes away the buy button when their silver supply is massively over shorted, I mean when their supply does not match how much they need to deliver… JFC this is the same play book

CME haling silver trading right when it was about to blast through $92, a key resistance level, citing 'technical issues' is bullish af

flbnah

The halt, which CME said lasted about 35 minutes, came on the same day that the futures contract for March delivery expired, a key date for traders looking to roll over their positions. Futures rose before settling 1.9% higher at $2.969 per million British thermal unit. Trading in metals, including gold and copper, on Globex was also halted before resuming at around 1:45 p.m. Central Time. The latest glitch “erases confidence over liquidity and price discovery at a time when the market has been contending with a market dysfunctioning given the wild price swings,” Nicky Shiels, head of metals strategy at MKS PAMP SA.

SLV will increase as it is a proxy for physical silver. Here is what Google says "If the [CME (COMEX)](https://goldsilver.com/industry-news/video/is-silver-about-to-break-the-comex/) runs out of deliverable silver, it would likely cause a severe "break" between the paper futures market and the physical market, triggering a violent surge in silver prices ". SLV will rise in line with silver prices since it correlates very closely to the silver price since it is based on physical silver ownership in vaults.

It will. China is cutting off paper trade this week and CME has delivery at end of month. DO NOT be surprised if we see another stock market "outage" like last time there was a delivery. Last month had record deliveries. The countries want their physical. Musical chairs time.

This is from google AI search; Small-cap value stocks historically offer higher long-term returns (14.3% annually since 1926) than the S&P 500 (10.2%), but come with higher volatility and extended periods of underperformance. While the S&P 500 dominates with large-cap tech growth, small-cap value acts as a diversified, cheaper alternative, often outperforming during economic recoveries, despite lagging behind for most of 2017–2024.  CME Group  +4 Key Differences: Performance (Recent vs. Long-Term): The S&P 500 has significantly outperformed small-cap value over the last five years. However, historically, small-cap value has delivered superior long-term returns. Risk & Volatility: Small-cap value is more volatile and sensitive to interest rates, as these companies often carry more debt and are more sensitive to economic downturns. Valuation: Small-cap value stocks are generally cheaper than the S&P 500, with lower price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios and higher dividend yields. Composition: The S&P 500 is heavily concentrated in massive tech firms (e.g., Nvidia, Microsoft, Apple), while small-cap value is more diversified across sectors, reducing "AI bubble" risk. Market Cycle: Large-cap (S&P 500) tends to win in late-stage expansion, while small-cap value often wins in early-stage recovery and higher inflationary environments.  CME Group  +5 Which to Choose? S&P 500: Suitable for investors seeking steadier growth, lower risk, and high liquidity, as recommended by Warren Buffett. Small-Cap Value: Best for long-term investors willing to accept higher short-term volatility for the potential of higher long-term returns (mean reversion). Combination: Combining both can reduce overall portfolio risk due to their low correlation.  YouTube  +4 As of early 2026, small caps have shown signs of catching up, having outperformed in early 2026, suggesting a potential rotation.

Forte afternoon. Tomorrow’s moves thread opens up, followed by CME.

Icy-Comfortable-714

Gold is super volatile right now. You might double your money, you might halve it. Sentiment toward gold is strong and it should climb but the CME margins climb in lock step which keeps the spot prices contained. Parabolic growth for precious metals has already happened, you might see 20% ish (maybe closing Fy26 at $6k/oz) but you’re not going to see another 100%+ year like last year. So consider your options, mining plays are pretty good right now but if your looking for return & growth weight up how much risk you are prepared to gamble on. Historically holding gold hasn’t been that great, it’s good to retain wealth in times of volatility but right now it’s being treated like a growth / momentum investment when it’s an asset in reality.

Intelligent-Log191

The CME margin hike from 9% to 11% was basically a targeted liquidation event for anyone who wasn't deep in the green already. It’s the classic "change the rules when the house starts losing" move. When you have that much open interest vs registered deposits, the bullion banks have zero choice but to trigger a massive sell-off to shake out the physical delivery demands. I’ve seen similar distribution patterns on the TradingWizard AI charts right before the drop—liquidity hunts followed by a complete break in structure once the retail shorts were wiped out. Silver at $121 was clearly the peak of the squeeze. Now we're just seeing the "orderly" return to the mean while the big guys reload their shorts. Anyone trying to catch the falling knife here is going to get shredded.

Frosty-Pirate444

I use the CBOE institutional data but not sure if they offer that for the SPXW. Although they do offer tick data for most markets. You might want to check with the CME Group because they offer similar products as the CBOE.

Rick_12345

If the short option is in the money, or even close to being in the money, then close it before the trading day ends. Practically, if it's a cash settled option, then it doesn't really matter. CME options on futures contracts are the only ones I use that are cash settled, but there may be others.

Thin_Cat8817

https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html The chance of a June cut have climbed slightly on CME, not basing this off of Polymarket tards

Marlov

SLV does not fluctaute with the 'paper' price... which is the futures/CME price. SLV holds physical - so it fluctuates with the SPOT/physical price. In reality the spot/future price does not diverge so it's academic. But in the crisis scenario you're describing they might... But who cares because SLV will be valued relative to spot. Again, there's no advantage to fucking around with physical.

GaryMiddleton

There's a real answer to your question. SLV may be backed, but it's price fluctuates with the 'paper' price. So if the CME refuses to deliver and suppresses their paper silver price relative to what physical silver is getting in the real world, SLV will not perform. I don't know if I buy all these theories, but that's the 'why' you were looking for.

Antique-Resort6160

QuantPedia estimates an annualized risk-free rate of 3.69% for Bitcoin when accounting for the U.S. dollar risk-free rate and using CME futures data. 

VolSignalsVS3D

(I'm out of a market making seat now) When in a MM seat, if we are "controlling" market movements it's by proxy; it's usually an unfortunate consequence of a hedging program because of a position that's too large or concentrated- and that hedging works against us, technically, by nudging price towards pinning our long. As an extreme example, once midsummer 2017 we had so much gamma from a CME flow (catalyst hedge futures call 3x1) that if the market moved up $1.00 we had something like 2500 futures to sell, and vice versa on a down move (futures to buy) - that's a miserable position to be in, and when you outsize the market you usually don't wind up very happy about it

Why you say that? CME margin increase went into effect today and it still went up 8%, not saying it can't go down but just wondering if there was some news

StocksStormTrooper

CME’s SLV vault is almost out. Something’s gonna give.

Round-Willingness459

CME keeps raising margin requirements, currently at 18%, potentially getting 2 + more hikes by the time silver calms down if history can teach us anything. These prices are not ‘safe’ just because they’re lower than the peak, many traders who found themselves underwater suffer from sunk cost fallacy and this time is no different. What is certain though is that with the increased requirements, more forced selling and pain on the way. Silver Thursday didn’t rebound itself in a week, and this time the leverage issue is a much bigger problem than people can imagine. I don’t know what day this week we see another leg down but I’m positioned to capitalize, I think 55-60% chance we see a dip past 50 this week

Chocobops

CME is proud to introduce inverse leverage starting at .85-1

FlyBlueJay

Remember what happened last time CME increased margin requirements for gold and silver?

Icy-Comfortable-714

Kinda happened with gold. CME raised margins requirements, prices dipped and margins got called all the way down. A lot of bag holding but gold will be a good play for the rest of the year so idk if anyone’s gonna loose that much. I guess the same is absolutely possible with BTC on the way down

HeavySink3303

Just IMO but the biggest risk is not Comex default (however, it is still possible) but export limitations. For example: your contracts have settled, you have your silver at CME-approved werehouse but you can't take it and ship to China/India/whereever. Then the Comex price (as well as all derivatives bound to it) will collapse. On the other hand, MCX, SHFE, SGE and physical prices will skyrocket to the Moon. Sure it is not 100% possible risk and Canadian PSLV may survive some apocalyptic scenarios but physical is always safer.
