Who took delivery

Every delivery notice has two sides. The firm that issues it is the short handing over metal; the firm that stops it is the long taking metal off the exchange. CME names both, split between each firm's own book (house) and the book it keeps for clients (customer) — so this is the only part of the delivery report that says who.

Common questions

What are COMEX deliveries?
When a COMEX gold, silver, or other metals futures contract reaches its delivery month, the holder can stand for delivery and take physical metal. The exchange records a delivery notice for each contract that settles this way. The monthly count of those notices is a measure of how much metal is being taken off the exchange rather than rolled or closed on paper.
Who is taking delivery of COMEX silver?
Since January 9, 2026 the largest stopper of the COMEX 5,000 oz silver contract is JP Morgan Securities (customer account) with 9,278 contracts, or 21.5% of all silver stops. 30 clearing firms have stopped silver notices over that period; the full firm-by-firm ledger for every COMEX metal is on this page.
More questions
How are deliveries counted on this page?
Every figure on this page is built from CME Group's daily Issues and Stops report, which lists each clearing firm's notices contract by contract. Each notice is one futures contract standing for delivery — 100 troy ounces for gold, 5,000 for silver — so the counts are contracts, not ounces. The monthly charts count each metal's standard contract only; the smaller micro contracts (10 oz gold, 1,000 oz silver) are counted in their own tables rather than added in, because adding a 1,000 oz lot to a 5,000 oz lot would produce a number that means nothing.
How do deliveries relate to COMEX warehouse inventory?
Warehouse inventory is the stock of metal sitting in exchange vaults; deliveries are the flow of contracts claiming it. A month of heavy deliveries against a thin registered stockpile is what stackers watch for, so this page pairs with the COMEX warehouse-inventory page that tracks the stock side.
Do high delivery months mean a shortage?
Not on their own. Deliveries are seasonal — they cluster in the active delivery months for each metal — and a large count can simply reflect a big, liquid contract month. They are most informative read alongside registered inventory and open interest, not in isolation.
What does it mean to stop a delivery notice?
Every delivery notice has two sides. The clearing firm on the short side issues the notice and delivers the metal; the firm on the long side stops it and takes the metal. Each notice is one contract, so a day's issues and stops always sum to the same total — what differs is which firm is on which side.
What is the difference between a house and a customer account?
A clearing member's house account is its own book: the firm taking or delivering metal for itself. Its customer account is the book it keeps for clients, so a large customer-account stop means a bank's clients are taking delivery, not the bank. CME reports the two separately and this page keeps them separate.
Where does firm-level COMEX delivery data come from?
CME Group publishes a daily Issues and Stops report naming every clearing member that issued or stopped a delivery notice. It is posted at a single undated URL and overwritten at each publication, and no public historical archive of it exists, so a day nobody captures is gone for good. The archive behind this page begins January 9, 2026.

Data source

Every figure on this page comes from one source: the daily Issues and Stops report published by CME Group, which lists each clearing firm's delivery notices contract by contract. Each notice is one contract standing for physical delivery, so the counts are contracts and never ounces. Every contract block is checked against CME's own printed total before it is stored, and dropped if it does not add up. The monthly charts count each metal's standard contract; micro contracts are counted separately so unlike lot sizes are never summed.

The firm-by-firm figures come from the same publisher's daily Issues and Stops report, which names every clearing member on both sides of a notice. CME posts it at one undated address and overwrites it at each publication, and keeps no public history, so the archive here — January 9, 2026 onward, 40 clearing firms — exists only because each day's file was captured as it was published. Firm names are reproduced as CME prints them, in a fixed 20-character column that truncates the longer ones; where truncation left a name incomplete it is expanded, and CME's own firm number is shown alongside so each entity stays identifiable. Counts are contracts, never converted between the different lot sizes, so the micro contracts are listed separately from the standard ones.
