LME is showing how corrupt metals trading is. We need a better method to trade and set prices. Big players can manipulate the market too easily with the help of the exchanges.

Latest update is that Tsingshan managed to have delivered the qualified Nickels which is the player sitting as long position, have to accept the physical delivery – imagine how much loss it will be incurred to the other counter-party.

very funny post date, 2022.3.10. whoever is buying that 200K MT nickel with price rate 100K/MT must buy now. Want to see who is behind all these and what will happen tomorrow.

They have now committed to deliver the nickel they shorted. Whoever made the long position now have to buy the nickel at the inflated prices. Who is laughing/crying now.

Tsingshan group knows he was targeting for long time . I think they make this trap for Glencore
@franciscocz8384
January 30, 2024 at 3:38 pm
He didn't lose, I'm more than sure that americans are "targeting" chinese traders.
The chinese have realized about this and they are opening trades on the opposite direction of what they think the market is going to do.
Meanwhile they accumulated greater positions on the direction they think the price is gonna move on third parties overseas account.
Who is going to short the nickel, wheat, oil, paladium… after the invasion of Ukraine? It's totally unrealistic.
Even if he shorted it before the invasion, he is experienced enough to close that short after the invasion.

The higher that you gear the trade, the bigger the win or the loss. In this case we are talking about a Big loss and some people are going to lose their shirts over this!
