<The problem is demand; it doesn't get tamped by jawboning and it doesn't get clobbered by Chinese officials saying, "Hey, we want to cut back." > Very good, astute remarks coming from James Cramer. There is obviously a concerted effort from China (and the US) to try and get the big specs out at bargain prices, thus temporarily depressing prices. That way they don't have to take real measures. Instead they just paint some lip stick on whatever pig they call monetary policy.

China has long history of playing games with big markets back in 1995 and 1996, I received an education I watched what China did in the grains market they would cancel a really big wheat order that would take down the wheat price by 20-15% over the course of several days, in fallout they would make flimsy claims about mold rot or some such two weeks later, they re-activated the same exact order and saved many millions of dollars they are savvy, and we underestimate them consistently I expect they will soon cancel a copper order then re-activate it only a few days later / jim
