The HKMEx silver futures continues to slowly ramp up trading volume.Currently, HKMEx silver futures volume is up to 302 contracts (1,000oz/contract instead of 5,000oz/contract on the COMEX) or 302,000 oz.
While this is clearly child's play compared to COMEX paper silver volume, the large majority of HKMEx silver futures does likely represent physical silver bullion, rather than the 10 quintillion to 1 (only slight exaggeration) paper silver to bullion ratio on the CRIMEX.
We'll continue to keep an eye on the HKMEx as volume increases.
