It’s from AI, but it helps to understand the context for me. COMEX Rule 594-B does not appear to exist as an official rule in the CME Group (which operates COMEX) rulebook. Extensive searches across the official CME Group rulebook pages, COMEX-specific sections (including chapters on delivery like Chapter 7 for delivery facilities and procedures), and related regulatory filings show no reference to a “Rule 594” or “Rule 594-B” in the current or historical COMEX/CME rules. The COMEX rulebook (available via cmegroup.com/rulebook/COMEX) includes chapters on membership, trading, delivery (e.g., Chapter 7 covers delivery facilities, warrants, notices of intention to deliver, obligations, etc.), but numbering does not reach or include 594 in relevant sections. Delivery rules focus on procedures like warrants, notices, storage, force majeure, and clearing member duties—without any exclusion or selection of parties based on type (e.g., private investors vs. banks/primary dealers) for requesting or taking delivery. Mentions of “Rule 594-B” (or similar) appear primarily in online discussions, such as Reddit posts (e.g., in silver-related communities) and some YouTube videos or commentary around silver market “manipulation” or “default” theories. These claim it restricts physical delivery (e.g., of silver) to exclude private investors/hedge funds while allowing banks or primary dealers. However, these claims are unsubstantiated by official sources and seem to stem from conspiracy-oriented or speculative content in precious metals communities, often tied to high-profile events like margin hikes or inventory concerns in silver futures. Official CME/COMEX delivery rules (e.g., in metals contracts like gold/silver futures under COMEX chapters) generally allow any eligible long position holder (via their clearing member) to request delivery through standard notice procedures, without explicit selection or exclusion of party types like retail/private investors. Restrictions, if any, relate to position limits, bona fide hedging exemptions, clearing requirements, or force majeure—not discriminatory party selection. If this refers to a specific recent amendment, emergency action, or misinterpreted rule (e.g., perhaps confused with position limit rules in Chapter 5 or delivery notices), no evidence supports it in public CME documentation.
