@johnarnold I was on the last e train into the WTC on my way to the exchange in building 4,we were directed out the back by Chambers Street,the first plane had taken out cell phone communication,we natuarally tht it was an accident until the 2nd plane hit
@ianbremmer In March and April a threat on the strait from the IRGC would inevitably be backed up by drone and missile attacks on tankers and gulf neighbours now it seems like mostly hot air and no action
The entire copper industry has just returned from last week’s leading copper conference in Chile (CESCO), with participants, including the world’s largest copper traders, even more bullish that all-time-high copper prices could be tested over the coming weeks.
It’s become crystal clear that both China and the US are frantically stockpiling despite industrial supply chain uncertainties related to the conflict in Middle East.
The rivalry between the two superpowers could easily pull the king of metals up to $15,000 per tonne quicker than we can imagine.
ITS A FULL ON GLOBAL TUG-OF-WAR
@KobeissiLetter Very obviously played by insiders,at the end of a long week much of fintwit missed the ‘Truth’ post 17 mins before the futures closed,oil was actually bid up,i first noticed The White House tweet 2 mins after the bell.
@TopButtonTrades@FirstSquawk Exactly,there are also plenty of people claiming to be 'oil market experts' on this platform with large followings who claim the futures curve represents predictions
@mikegalsworthy When the best @johnredwood can come up with is a £4trillion economy avoiding a £15billion annual fee he’s using the ‘June Slater school of economic theory’ to fool what’s left of gullible Brexiters
Further on the rebalance the worst performers of 2025 including the GLP-1 burdened dog of all commodities sugar shld get bought,in sugars case close to 60,000 contracts cld give a brief reprieve to a market trading below anyone’s production costs with a 170K open spec short.
Starting this Thursday commodity indexes will begin their annual rebalance over 5 trading days,according to J P Morgan abt 11,000 Gold and 13000 Silver contracts ($3.75B)will be sold which cld pose an interesting test in the short term #Silver#Comex
@dotkrueger You missed commodity index funds rebalancing their best performing asset of of 2025 selling 13000 SI futures,9% of the open interest,over 5 days beginning Jan 8 according to JP Morgan.
The Comex is not making an unreasonable attack on silver,today’s margin increase to $32K now makes it more expensive than an E-mini S&P at $23K,the values of the 2 contacts are now very close but the $12 range in SI on 12/29 wld equal abt 1200 S&P points almost 3 times the record move on 4/9 this year. #Silver
@tomyoungjr@A5T3R0lD Futures still control about 10x he new initial margin and SI has had a wider range in value than the new 32K rate($6.40 on SI)for the last 4 days,its a reasonably conservative move by the COMEX,the micro contract SIL is also very liquid and trading record volumes
The big silver futures contract SI traded the fourth highest volume ever 170K less than Dec 12 185K which was 2nd only to the ‘Reddit squeeze’ on Feb 1 ‘21 a massive 400K,Micro contract SIL blew away the prior record set on Dec 13 trading 325K,extraordinary numbers on a traditionally quiet session
@EssexgoonerMr Zelensky is good with 20/28 points which Starmer would be too,this old bird spreading disinformation on social media is as damaging to the UK as Brexit.
@brucefenton Karp didnt behave like a creey weirdo when Palantir was trading in the 20's the sudden accumulation of vast wealth status and fame mostly undeserved has had this effect on him whether its drug related or otherwise.
