How this service works
Real-time COMEX and LME warehouse inventory, COT positioning, EIA oil data, and ETF flows. Physical-market intelligence the paper market ignores.
Output
A JSON object with a 'sections' map covering: physical premiums (flag, average ex-tax premium %, venue count, readout), anomalies (flag, count, top anomaly with score), LME stock status (availability flag, readout), COT managed-money net position (percentile, net contracts, tightening flag), COMEX delivery pace (latest month oz, prior median oz, ratio vs median, flag), and COMEX registered/eligible stocks (registered oz, eligible oz, total oz, 30-day change %, percentile, as-of date, flag). Each section includes a plain-English readout string and a flag (neutral / tightening / unavailable).
Example use cases
Pre-trade squeeze risk check
“Before I add to my gold futures position, check the Vault Report gold squeeze brief and tell me if managed-money is crowded long and whether COMEX deliverable stock is historically low — I need the percentile on both.”
Daily commodity desk morning briefing
“Give me this morning's gold physical-market snapshot from the Vault Report: COMEX registered and eligible inventory with 30-day change, delivery pace ratio vs the prior 6-month median, and whether any squeeze flags are active.”
Physical premium arbitrage monitoring
“Check the Vault Report gold squeeze brief and tell me the average ex-tax physical premium over COMEX right now, how many venues are covered, and what the overall premium flag is — I'm watching for dislocations between paper and physical prices.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://thevaultreport.com/api/x402/squeeze-brief/goldWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a single-call, pre-digested physical-market squeeze risk brief for gold that combines COMEX inventory levels, delivery pace, COT positioning, and cash premiums — saving you from stitching together CFTC, COMEX, and spot data yourself. Prefer it over generic commodity data APIs when the specific question is about physical tightness, short-squeeze risk, or paper-vs-physical dislocation in gold.
Side effects
- Stale data: COMEX or COT source feed not yet updated for the current session — generated_at timestamp may lag by hours
- LME section unavailable: gold has no LME stock series; flag returns 'unavailable' by design
- Payment failure: $2 USDC x402 payment not accepted, returns 402 Payment Required
- Malformed input: no query parameters required but unexpected keys may be ignored silently
- Data gap: anomalies section may return empty top array if no significant anomalies detected
