Anyone investing in silver or silver miners needs to understand what a CME Clearing Daily Delivery Notice means.
You have the sellers listed and the buyers who are taking delivery of physical silver. This is yesterday's notice. It shows activity for the business date of March 3, 2026 (intent date), with actual delivery scheduled for March 5, 2026. The settlement price that day was $82.923 per ounce (so each contract is worth about $414,615 at that price).
Top stoppers (buyers accepting delivery) included:
BOFA Securities (Bank of America) → 195 stopped.
JP Morgan Securities → 145 stopped.
Scotia Capital → 65 stopped.
Morgan Stanley → 62 stopped.
This means BOFA will purchase $80,849,925 worth of physical silver tomorrow at a price of $82.93 per ounce.
JP Morgan will purchase $60,119,175 worth of silver at $82.93.
So I hope you understand why BOFA and JP Morgan would try to smash the paper silver price as low as possible. They are actively buying physical silver in very large amounts. JP Morgan has accumulated more physical silver than any other entity in the past 6 months.
Is it a surprise that the JP Morgan analyst came out with a report that physical silver will average $81/oz in 2026. Why would JP Morgan pay $82.93/oz if they thought silver was going to average $81 this year. They lie in order to discourage retail buyers from purchases which increase the silver price. JP Morgan is accumulating much more silver in anticipation of significantly higher silver prices. It's all so obvious if you just study the data.
