[The BASIS is the relationship between the cash market and the futures market and is very simply defined as (CASH minus FUTURES)].

“The lynchpin that is holding this dynamic together and keeping the futures markets tied to the underlying cash market is the fact that the futures contracts are deliverable, and a trader can either deliver or take delivery of actual physical silver via his futures position.”

Pretty much, yup.

At least it destroys any idea of the futures market being a reliable “price discovery mechanism” that it is often touted as.
