Comex's reporting on the April gold contract has been a roller coaster. To recap:

The preliminary print for the March 28 report issued on Friday night showed 55,878 contracts standing for delivery. That was revised upward by 50,784 to 106,662 on the final print early Monday afternoon.

Gov. Spencer Cox put a stop to -- or at least paused -- Utah's drive toward transacting business using gold.

The governor vetoed HB306, sponsored by Rep. Ken Ivory, R-West Jordan, a bill that would have hired a company to set up a system that would enable the state to pay vendors using gold, if that's how the vendors choose to be paid.

Maybe the final print of today’s CME Group gold report for trading on March 28 will be revised. The final report shows that the open interest on the April gold contract increased by 45,420 from the preliminary report to 106,662 contracts.

Can the United States be trusted with Germany's gold?

Its leader is trying to cripple the country's most important industry. His deputy thinks it's a pathetic freeloader. The man who has their ear is throwing what look a lot like Nazi salutes and openly interfering in its elections to support a far-right party that its own intelligence service thinks is a threat to the constitution.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

We are so close to victory now. Gold is all over mainstream financial news organizations now even as they strive not to expose the real reasons for the monetary metal's spectacular rise: the collapse of the derivatives-based gold price suppression system.
