James Turk - Silver Still in Backwardation, Headed Higher
[link to kingworldnews.com]
When asked about silver Turk remarked, “The important point Eric is that silver is still in backwardation. I mentioned to you previously in the KWN blog piece on April 1st of this year that if silver remained in backwardation when we neared the $50 area it would be a truly extraordinary event. Here we are with silver touching $49 in Asian trading this morning, yet it remains in a 63 cent backwardation from spot to December 2015.
I can’t stress enough how significant that event is. Over the past three months the price of silver has nearly doubled, yet the backwardation has not disappeared. Markets are not designed to work that way, the higher price is supposed to entice people to sell their physical and hold dollars instead. I think the market is quite clearly sending the signal that people would rather hold silver instead of paper money.
The bottom line is that as long as silver remains in backwardation, price declines will be short-lived, it’s also telling us that silver has not yet reached a top on this move.”

Why Silver Backwardation Matters
[...]
Backwardation in silver is a Big DealTM, as it's been over 10 years since we last saw near-term futures contracts trading higher than ones further out in the curve. In fact, not since Warren Buffett snatched up 130 million ounces back in 1997 have we seen the metal go backwardated. Even then, the condition was short-lived.
This time, however, backwardation may prove to be more persistent. (This article is from February; silver still in backwardation.)
