What this means

COMEX gold registered inventory is the deliverable quantity of gold bars in COMEX-approved vaults certified for futures delivery. Traders watch this number as the primary squeeze-risk indicator: a sharp drawdown in registered stocks relative to open interest is the classic setup for a delivery squeeze.

Glossary

Registered inventory

Metal in COMEX-approved vaults that has been certified (warranted) for delivery against a futures contract. This is the headline deliverable number.

Eligible inventory

Metal meeting COMEX purity/bar standards stored in approved vaults but not yet warranted. Can be converted to registered with paperwork.

Delivery squeeze

When open interest (futures contracts outstanding) approaches or exceeds registered inventory, holders of longs can force physical delivery — driving sharp price spikes.

Stop/issue

A stop is taking delivery of metal; an issue is making delivery. The daily stop/issue report tracks who is delivering and receiving.
