Contango and backwardation describe the shape of a commodity's futures curve: Contango (normal) is when future contract prices are higher than the current (spot) price, reflecting storage costs/expectations of price rises, while Backwardation (inverted) is when future prices are lower than the spot price, often due to immediate high demand, shortages, or expectations of falling prices, both crucial for investors in futures-based ETFs.
Contango (Normal Market)

  1. Definition: Futures prices for later delivery dates are progressively higher than the spot price.
  2. Futures Curve: Upward-sloping.
  3. Causes: Storage, insurance, and financing costs (carrying costs) for holding the physical commodity, or general market expectation that prices will rise.
  4. Impact on ETFs: Can be negative for ETFs rolling contracts, as they sell cheaper front-month contracts and buy more expensive later-month contracts, creating a loss.

Backwardation (Inverted Market)

  1. Definition: Futures prices for later delivery dates are progressively lower than the spot price.
  2. Futures Curve: Downward-sloping (inverted).
  3. Causes: High immediate demand, supply disruptions (like natural disasters), or expectations of future price drops.
  4. Impact on ETFs: Can benefit ETFs that roll contracts, as they sell higher-priced front-month contracts and buy cheaper later-month ones, generating a gain.

Key Takeaway

  1. Contango: Spot < Futures (Upward Curve)
  2. Backwardation: Spot > Futures (Downward Curve)
  3. These market structures reflect supply/demand dynamics and expectations, with backwardation signaling immediate tightness and contango suggesting ample supply or future price appreciation.

it is broo. the signal for me is the price...
actually you can use the future price and compare it to spot prices.. ig, it can tell you is the current price cheap? or expensive, is it good entry or not. many think future is just for physical delivery etc. but actually not... its also affecting the spotprice in which we are trading.

{quote} check cme... https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/metals.html#products for your reference future > spot = you are looking for a sell signal Future < spot = your are looking for Buy Future = spot means you found support or resistance... this is for your info..
Thanks that’s actually very helpful. I love learning new things in the trading world, makes me feel like a kid excited to use new indicators & tools. I literally discovered pivot point indicators last week and it boasted my profits so fun! Even when I get losses, I don’t feel blind anymore like when I relied heavily on just fundamentals & news releases. Now, I feel more technical when trading

{quote} Yeah but some banks also predicted $4500 by end of 2025. Don’t forget a lot of the predictions you mentioned were pre-tariffs & all the mayhem that happened in 2025
I mentioned only us banks as theyre the most active when trading. (London/New York session) and most banks did a Q4 reassessment

With the silver trade you are missing a big part, the Shanghai exchange price of silver compared to the Western exchanges.

Then you have to ask where is the actual physical silver kept?

Just like 99.9% of the time.
GC minus XAUUSD:OANDA
Dips below 0.0 are contract switches.
