Gold’s Record-Breaking Month: Trading Patterns Reveal Banks Flipping Rather Than Holding

The COMEX May gold contract is showing unprecedented activity, with 6,712 new contracts written since first notice day—far above the historical mean of 1,525 and previous record of 4,150. Cumulative deliveries have reached nearly 16,000 contracts, surpassing the record set by the March contract. However, this activity is primarily driven by bank house accounts and JP Morgan customer accounts, with Bank of Montreal being the largest buyer at 658,000 ounces. For silver, the May contract is also setting records with JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs customer accounts driving purchases, while banks overall have sold a net 15.8 million ounces to non-banks—the third-highest net sale by banks for a specific contract in history.

What Warsh as Fed Chair Means for the Gold Price

The DOJ dropped its Powell probe on April 24, clearing the path for Kevin Warsh to become the next Fed chair. Gold went up — the opposite of what most investors expected. Here’s why that price action makes sense, what the $39 trillion debt overhang means for gold under Warsh, and what Powell’s final FOMC press conference on April 29 could signal for precious metals investors.

Is Gold Still a Strategic Asset for Your Portfolio?

Gold is 16% off its all-time high but up 42% year-over-year. The 60/40 portfolio is broken, central banks bought 863 tonnes in 2025, and Goldman Sachs targets $5,400. The strategic case hasn’t weakened — it’s grown stronger.

Samantha is wonderful. I was nervous about spending a chunk of money. I asked her to `hold my hand’ and walk me through making my purchase.  
She laughed and guided me through, step by step. She was so helpful in explaining everything...

Travis was amazing! I was having difficulty with a wire transfer of my life’s savings, and I was very worried that I might not be able to receive it all. My husband just passed away and I’ve been worried about these funds along with grieving for 8 months. As soon as I got connected with Travis, my concerns were immediately addressed and he put me at ease. The issue was resolved within days. He even called me back with updates to keep me in the loop about what was going on with the funds. I am so grateful for a customer representative like Travis. He really cares for his clients.

Sam was also very helpful! I called and was connected to Sam within 30 seconds. She helped me with a fee that was charged to my account. She had a great attitude and took care of the fee quickly.

    Outstanding quality and customer service. I first discovered Mike Maloney through his “Secrets of Money” video series. It was an excellent precious metals education. I was a financial advisor and it really helped me learn more about wealth protection. I used this knowledge to help protect my clients retirements. I purchase my precious metals through goldsilver.com. It is easy, fast and convenient. I also invested my IRA’s and utilize their excellent storage options. Bottom line, Mike and his team have earned my trust. I continue to invest in wealth protection and my own education. I give back and help others see the opportunities to invest in precious metals. Thank you.
