Today 50-year veteran Art Cashin warned about major concerns in the gold market because of declining gold inventories. Cashin, Director of Floor Operations at UBS ($650 billion under management), also cautioned about the backwardation in gold, and noted the massive global demand as well.

stores have been “lent” out. That theory also aided by backwardation (spot price far above near future).
