Financial futures contracts are completely different from commodities.
The market handles precious metals futures contracts as if they were currency.
They are merely a wager as to what the future price of the metal will be.
The trading of such instruments in huge volume has zero impact on spot value, it just affects the futures market prices.
Spot value can only ever be influenced by supply and demand, and changes by the second based on the price of the last done deal.
