The big bullion banks i.e. the dubious ones short gold and silver (and whom really make the prices move), [b]have reduced their short positions seriously [/b]after Friday's plunge in the metals.

In a nutshell, they have become more long than short (net reduction of shorts or adding to longs) by a significant 8 to 1 factor, more long silver by a 7 to 1 factor, and more short US Dollar by a massive 23 to 1 factor.

The COT report, which comes out after the market is closed, suggests some positive things in that respect:

[i]1) They are less sure on shorting silver/gold, and getting out while they can.

2) Net long positions will offset their short positions, so less motivation to raid prices hard and suppress by any and all means.[/i]

Commercial traders in silver, the largest group (and the ones who control the price more or less) decreased net short position by a total of 4,679 contracts, or 23,395,000 troy ounces.

In gold, the commercials decreased net short positions by 12,840 contracts which, multiplied by 100, is a reduction 1.284 million ounces.  The commercial net short position is now down to 19.76 million ounces...and it hasn't been under twenty million ounces for a long time.
