CK,

I wonder what effect this disruption has had on commodities pricing??

Is it part of the reason for some of the movement in the CRB and pressure on the T-bills??

It is interesting, but I guess my point was, no matter how severe the disruption has been, it has not brought entire markets to a halt in such a way that the news media can ignore the cause/effect.

Actually, I pretty amazed that there hasn't been more news coverage.

Regards,

Ron
