Conclusions

Both columns are higher month over month and year over year - May over May and May over April.

Open interest in the first column has gone from 17,264 to 77,704 an increase of 450% in the space of two years.

Open interest in the second column has gone from 23,768 to 150,922 an increase of 634% in the space of two years.

This appears to be an increasingly positive world for precious metals, and an increasingly negative world for treasuries, dollars (G7 currencies) and equities.
