COMEX registered
Silver that meets COMEX standards and has a warehouse warrant issued against it. It is the pool available for delivery against futures contracts.
● official feed · thevaultreport.com / CME daily warehouse report · as of Oct 23, 2026
Updated every US business day, roughly one day behind the vault activity it reports.
Shanghai SHFE
SHFE warehouse warrants represent exchange-registered, deliverable silver in SHFE-designated warehouses. It excludes SGE, commercial and private holdings.
● official feed · Shanghai Futures Exchange daily warrant report · as of 2026-10-26
Updated every Shanghai trading day after the close; no update on Chinese public holidays.
LBMA London
LBMA publishes total London vault holdings monthly with a 2–3 month lag. The figure includes ETF-backing metal such as SLV, only part of which may be freely deliverable.
● official feed · thevaultreport.com / LBMA vault data · as of Sep 2026
Published once a month, about 2–3 months after the month it covers, so this figure is always the newest available rather than today's level.
Reading the numbers
- Registered means exchange-certified and deliverable. For COMEX it carries a warrant; for SHFE it is warrant-backed warehouse stock.
- Eligible meets exchange standards but has no warrant. It can become registered quickly, but only if the owner chooses to convert it.
- Segregated bars are separately identified for a specific client and normally appear inside eligible totals.
- Chart history. Every current level above is pulled from the exchange's own daily feed. In the history charts, points before March 2026 are reconstructed estimates from published exchange reports; from March 2026 onward each point is a recorded live reading.
- LBMA does not publish a registered/eligible split, so the report shows total holdings. Some of this metal backs ETFs and may not be freely available for delivery.
