NYMEX is an exchange - it doesn't have any warehouses.

Traders are speculating - almost nobody takes physical delivery.

The futures contracts in precious metals are always much higher than the physical metal available. They are simply rolled over.

There is no realistic possibility of any meaningful squeeze on platinum or any other precious metal.

Have you actually looked at the numbers for January?

Most roll over yes, January OI peaked at over 3 million ounces, but 141k worth of longs are taking delivery this month

So what you’re saying is usually true, but now, for January Platinum, it is not

I do not necessarily agree with this one although I believe squeeze discussions are usually overblown. For platinum they are not.
