Those ingots are owned by the refining companies that bought them from the mines or the companies that refined or refined them to other companies.
The transfer process:
After preparing the gold bullion according to international standards, the other process comes, which is the transfer process to the warehouses of the futures exchange “COMEX” through safe companies specializing in highly accurate security systems, which are located in Richmond, namely “Brinks”. Via Mat International, the transfer process is carried out through trusted and accredited companies.
Editing delivery receipts to start trading in the stock exchange
After the bullion reaches the warehouses of the futures exchange, it is ready for gold to be traded in the stock exchange, where the delivery receipts are released, which are like title deeds that are transferred from one party to another. Usually, these receipts remain with the brokerage companies that supervise the trading operations.

How is gold future contracts traded?
Futures trading is an agreement to buy or sell a specified amount at a specified time in the future and to agree on its price in advance.
