Physical vs. Paper: The Shanghai Gold Exchange vs. the COMEX



When push comes to shove, the COMEX is only pushing paper.

Weighed, and found wanting.

Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE)

Weekly Gold Delivery From Vault

The above graph of physical gold delivery out of the Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE) vaults was prepared by @KoosJansen based on the weekly reports from the Chinese portion of the SGE site. The SGE has confirmed these are deliveries from the vault and the numbers are updated on a weekly basis (each Friday). I will publish the links to the exact Chinese pages next week and will ensure there is updated weekly delivery data available here.
