In feedback to the outrage
The LME’s chief executive officer, Matthew Chamberlain, informed Bloomberg: “Had [the LME] permitted the rate to surge up it would certainly have been incredibly challenging for a few of our market individuals.”
So what? We currently release Chinese billionaires due to the fact that it may have ended up being “challenging for them”? GTFO!
High Cliff is 100% appropriate.
Unfortunately, this is yet one more nail in the casket of Western-led hegemony in the economic markets..among various other points also.
This is the start of completion of the LME. Mark my words.
