The Desk's read
COMEX registered copper, metal warranted for delivery against futures, stands at 477,721 short tons as of 2026-09-03, the highest level in the 8-month record. The pile rose 4.1% over 30 days, yet its trailing 40-report pace sits at the 30 percentile of all such stretches, a build-side move that is far from the record's fastest; a full pile getting fuller. Gold at 15.11M oz and platinum at 191K oz are also notable; silver at 99.39M oz and palladium at 198K oz sit mid-range. Watch copper in the next daily depository report.

How to read COMEX registered vs eligible inventory
Registered inventory is the metal backed by a live warehouse warrant, so it can be delivered against a COMEX futures contract immediately; eligible inventory sits in the same approved vaults and meets exchange specs but carries no warrant, so it is a reserve rather than deliverable supply. The line worth watching is the trend in registered stock relative to open interest: when registered metal drains while contracts stand for delivery, fewer deliverable ounces back each paper claim, and that is where delivery stress shows up first. During the 2020 COVID dislocation, COMEX gold registered stocks were rebuilt sharply — from a few million ounces to well over ten — as refiners and vaults scrambled to convert eligible metal into deliverable warrants, a reminder that the registered line can swing on re-categorization, not only on physical inflows and outflows.

- How much gold and silver is in COMEX warehouses?
- COMEX-approved depositories report their gold, silver, copper, platinum, and palladium holdings to CME Group each business day, split into registered and eligible categories. The current totals, with 7-day and 30-day changes, are shown above. Because the figure moves daily, check the as-of date on this page for the latest reading.
- What is the difference between registered and eligible gold?
- Registered metal is backed by a warehouse receipt (warrant) and can be delivered against a futures contract right now. Eligible metal meets exchange specs and sits in the same vaults but has no active warrant, so it is not immediately deliverable. Registered is the supply that can settle today; eligible is on the sidelines until its owner chooses to register it.
- Can eligible metal become deliverable?
- Yes. An owner can convert eligible metal to registered by issuing a warrant, which moves it into the deliverable pool. The reverse also happens. This is why registered inventory can swing even when the total amount of metal in the vault barely changes — the metal is being re-categorized, not necessarily added or removed.
- Why does COMEX registered inventory matter?
- Registered inventory is the metal physically available to settle futures deliveries. When registered stock falls while open interest stays high, more paper contracts are chasing less deliverable metal, which tends to raise the odds of delivery stress. It is a supply gauge, not a price forecast.
