Big 8 silver shorts climb as price falls

The group known as the Big 8 increased their short position in silver to 46,117 COMEX contracts, up from 43,407 contracts on April 7 when silver was at $72 an ounce, as of Friday's COT Report with silver priced at $50 as of the Tuesday cut-off.

Peter Spina, CEO of GoldSeek.com, reported this data by citing Ed Steer.

Peter Spina previously stated that silver was a strong buy at current price levels, citing rising mining costs and noting all-in sustaining costs were increasing from $25 to $35 an ounce in his coverage at GoldSeek.com. In the gold market, UBS maintained a $5,000 price forecast for 2027 while a Reuters survey gave a median target of $4,650, as reported in a separate article. Both gold and silver forecasts remain of interest as the precious metals markets adjust to recent positioning shifts.
