  • normal contango/backwardation results from perceived demand/supply imbalance-price risk transfer. contango/backwardation results from storage cost/convenience yield difference?- correct me if I'm wrong

  • you have lost your way,

  • As a commodities investor I just want to say that backwardation is rare and frequently bullish. In a nutshell it means investors are willing to pay a premium for something (silver for example) now instead of holding off delivery until a later date. This often precludes shortages of varying degrees and likely upward price movement. The reason this is kind of counter-intuitive is because metal in 9 months should be more expensive just based on storage costs, people demand real metal, not paper.
