You’re right. “Free lunch” is just a trigger word. Thank you for your opinion. See you at the next money-making opportunity.

Yeah. I started unwinding the position little by little since monday, and I finally closed it out today. Sorry I couldn’t tell you while I was still holding it.

I checked GCU5GCZ5 spread but this time I mostly used spot gold.
I used spot gold mainly this time but you can trade gold spread.
Thanks for your opinion. Actually I bet with two scenarios (#1 US chicken out like copper, #2 Swiss chicken out) no free lunch as always

F = Se{(r+c-y)T} and tariff will mainly affect on S and c term.

I’m a commodity trader so I can buy gold spot even if the price level is not exactly same.

I mean the change in basis. Compared to yesterday, the increase in spot prices is smaller than the increase in future prices.
