Asian Metals Market Update: Base metal updates

Trend is neutral to bullish for copper and zinc and aluminum. Nickel trend is bearish. Nickel has already hit the daily fifteen percent lower limit. Position squaring and rebuilding has already started for the second quarter. Copper and all base metals will be very volatile for the next two weeks.

Unofficial sources say that the Chinese trader is short around the average price of $19000 and more in Nickel. The Chinese trader is backed by the Chinese communist party. LME is indirectly owned by the Chinese. These Chinese rogue traders can do anything and get away. One needs to focus on local price of industrial metals and less on LME price. LME will go the LIBOR way and vanish over the coming year. LIBOR was the best Ponzi scheme after the second world war. LME (after the current nickel fiasco and the emerging details) indicates that it is another Ponzi scheme which does not determine fair value of industrial metals. (This is just my own view and is not intended to plagiarize anyone. )
