TJ, I thought about Coxe's comment. Perhaps it is a financial strategy by China. Since futures can be settled in cash and since those futures China is rumored to be buying are denominated in USD and mostly traded at US friendly places in Chicago, NY, London then could the US just settle futures in cash by printing USD? In that case China is speculating on USD and commodities unless physical delivery is absolutely guaranteed (my trader friends say no exchange guarantees the commodity) More fat tail distributions coming methinks.
