Is the suggestion that a very large order came in to stand for physical delivery?

yes...more like orders(s).
The most that have ever stood and remained open at First Notice Day for Comex gold was back in January at 59,296 contracts for the Feb25.
A total of 106,000 for the Apr25 would be 2X that and truly historic. Impossible to overstate.

It could be a "head fake" to spook the shorts......or a major crisis (missing German gold, missing US gold et al).
Nobody is quite sure yet. But soon.
Also, all out war with Iran seems to be imminent.

Look very carefully at this chart please.
1) they’re only 16,000 lots of open interest increased on the day in the June contract. But look at the volumes. Massive.
2) now look at the block trades. Block trades are large chunk volumes and they usually facilitate spreads. Note that the April and June are very close to overlapping. Not unheard of but significant in this context.
3) now look at the totals. The open interest is up total over 60k contracts.

It would not be unreasonable, pending, forensic confirmation, that someone did a very, very, very large trade rolling contracts that they were long in June to April. This would explain.
1) the muted increase in open interest in June
2) the close to matching block trade volumes
3) the massive June volume translating into very small open interest changes net in June..

Anyway, this isn’t a theory this is how it happens. on a day with almost 60,000 lots of open interest increasing, gold actually could be a lot higher.. That’s because the open interest was created possibly by someone who was long the June contract or another deferred contract rolling forward into April. Pushing up a deferred long into a spot purchase. Somebody’s deadline may have gotten moved. (This is just a starting point not a conclusion. There are plenty of other potentially reasonable explanations. But generally speaking, you don’t buy 45,000 lots of a contract on first notice day on a declining liquidity contract without destroying the whole market. It’s also possible they bought the June contract. And then by the end of the day they rolled it back into April)

If the April open interest doesn’t close very quickly, you actually could see backwardation in gold futures for the first time ever as we approach April 28.

Fascist takeover? Oh yeah.

The sign of a good conman is the mark is completely ignorant they're being conned. Like an illusionist, he guides you to look over here, while the trick is being done over there. I have to hand it to Muskrat, he's a brilliant conman.

To quote Hillary Clinton: "You have got to be kidding me."

It's being reported now that Mike Waltz has used Signal for other sensitive chats; this isn't at all surprising. Like a good soldier, he's following his marching orders laid out in Project 2025's playbook. Videos have been unearthed which show the Project 2025 leadership team coaching potential government appointees on how to hide their agenda, avoid a paper trail, and create secret plans. People with good intentions don't have to hide their agenda. And even if something does have to be classified, they're not authorized to use Signal or any other methods to dodge FOIA.

In the linked page, there are quotes, followed by a timestamp at the end which opens the actual video the quote is from.

Get your facts straight, this is not accurate. First, when Joe Biden fell off his bicycle no one put a stick into the spokes, he was a doddering old man who was a victim of elder abuse. Second, Joe Biden was not "the richest man on earth". He might claim to have been the most corrupt, but only with the caveat of "president". If you want to say that Joe Biden is the most corrupt president then that is certainly plausible. Then this whole stupid question of "why doesn't anybody like me", that is a reference to Kamala Harris. So now your analogy becomes Joe Biden's Presidential campaign. He wasn't the one that sabotaged his campaign, it was the Democrats that stuck the stick into the spokes of his campaign.

The law of unintended consequences.
I am highly doubtful the USA can return to it former glory days using this approach, the world has changed.

Of course you're doubtful. You watch conspiracy tube.

Haha i love it.
This is what happens when you have DEI hires who have no clue about computers or any other profession and are there to meet a quota based on race and how they look.
Love it.

District court judges have no statutory authority.......

I also believe the USA is slated for judgment from God and will never "be great again". Jesus is Lord, Jesus will be praised, and Jesus will reign over all the earth from Jerusalem.

I'm more than doubtful and not because of watching TV for stupid people, it is because I read the Bible. Jesus will reign as king over all the earth from Jerusalem. Not from Washington DC.

Lawlessness at work.

Mr. Trump seems to reign on a day to day basis. In a very reactive manner. He hasn’t been able to display any strategy, and apart from megalomaniac outbursts other countries are overrunning him with their agendas. It’ll be even clearer in the next months to come.

He should try a more sleepy approach right?
That's the key to success! Sleep all day.

Yeah, he definitely should spend more time sleeping. Maybe be dreaming up some strategies to avoid all the problems his coworkers are causing.
