"niezwykle rozczarowany decyzją LME, aby po prostu utrzymać status quo", powiedział rzecznik firmy. "Nadal uważamy, że istnieje znaczne ryzyko, że niechciany metal pochodzenia rosyjskiego zaleje system magazynowy LME, zagrażając wiarygodności kontraktu na aluminium LME".

Czyli jeśli dobrze rozumiem: amerykanie chcą banu na aluminium z Rosji, w Europie, chcąc jednocześnie wypełnić tę lukę droższym aluminium made in USA, podczas gdy w Europie produkcja aluminium stanęła bo w przemysł uderzyły ceny energii, kwestie środowiskowe i demand destr.

1/17 En este hilo vamos a repasar la tesis de la #plata #silver y pensar porque podria ser unas #inversiones a tener en cuenta. Sobretodo porque puede ser una opción mas interesante que el #gold si pensamos en #preciousmetals 🧵
2/17 El #bear case esta soportado por un #dolar fuerte y unos #bonds yields altos gracias a las subidas de tipo de la #FED, ya que esta a dejado claro que va a subir tipos en noviembre y diciembre y mantenerlos en 2023 
3/17 Por otro lado, el #dolar hará peak pronto porque no puede si esta muy fuerte destruirá demanda ya que la mayoria de #commodities se compran en dolares
1/ Could the #LME #nickel fiasco happen to the #Comex #gold and #silver market?
On my recent Twitter Spaces with @PalisadesRadio I mentioned that we may have a problem with current and future availability of gold and silver bars from the expanded refiner list.

2/ Back in 2020, the #CME expanded the list of approved refineries whose bars are eligible for good delivery to the Comex. This was due to overwhelming demand for physical product and to maintain an orderly market. bullionstar.com/blogs/ronan-ma…
3/ 51 #LBMA approved gold refineries had been added to the eligible brand list for the COMEX 100 (GC 100) gold futures contract. Of the 51 refiner brands, the top countries represented are 12 refineries from China and 7 from Russia.
MORE on the below 🧵. There's so much inconsistency in #tradfi collateral posting rqmts (eg, most govts & corporates aren't req'd to post while trading firms are but with v diff collateral thresholds). It's all obfuscated. I lament that these derivative games are now in #crypto😢
There's no question derivatives games put a lid on #bitcoin's price appreciation in recent cycle, just as the same #WallSt derivatives games do same to #tradfi mkts. But when the epic short squeeze inevitably finally hits you get #LME-type games (yep, even in regulated mkts).
And derivatives can debauch otherwise strong balance sheets VERY fast in unexpected ways when BIG moves happen.
Little known fact: big banks' interest rate trading books often have BIG swaps receivables from state/local govts & swaps payables to corporates--UNCOLLATERALIZED.

1/ Ever wonder how Commodities melt up in price? Or How prices of #Gold and #Silver blowout between New York and London? #LME

2/ For many buying physical #preciousmetals, the London price is the primary market for pricing transactions. Although the New York Commodity Exchange (#COMEX) is widely reported and publicly available, this is a derivatives market
3/ How these markets differ can be defined by their users. London’s market provides a pricing mechanism for the physical investor, producer, user, fabricator, etc around the world. The Comex was designed as a hedging market.
#Golf and the #LME
I was once told a story about Ernie Els’s caddy. Ernie is one of the best golfers ever and had a superb caddy. Ernie was injured for a tournament so a rookie professional on the tour asked if his caddy could work for him that week.

So on the first tee the caddy hands the young man a 3 iron and tells him to hit it 250 yds down the right-hand side.
The foolhardy young pro ignores the caddy and takes out his driver and hits it 330 yds down the left into deep rough, completely obscuring a second shot into the green.
I've been looking at the #Nickel trade data for Tuesday morning and the cancelled #LME trades.
The numbers are quite staggering:
The numbers are quite staggering:
9,064 lots traded
VWAP of $71,743
Contract value = $3.9bn !!!!
#LME has cancelled all of these #Nickel trades.
By moving the price back to $48,078 they have wiped out $1.3bn of PnL on these trades.

I have traded on the #LME since 1994 and have seen many trades cancelled in that time - always because of genuine fat-fingered mistakes. Market participants are Gentlemen and are happy to cancel mistakes because you never know when you will make one.
#China's most active manganese-silicon futures contract and ferrosilicon futures contract in Zhengzhou open 8% higher and hit the limit-up.
