Stephen,

Very true. And it is true of any futures contract not settled in it's underlying commodity.

So this would also be true of the precious metal futures, grain futures, and oil futures, practically any futures market in the western hemisphere.

This is why the total output of something for a year can be traded in a single day.

It will continue until buyers of futures contracts stand for delivery. It only takes a few big buyers to stand for delivery to bring the entire system down.

Have a great week!
Steem on,
Mike
