J.P. Morgan Locking in Silver Losses?
History has shown that traders who lock into one idea, like selling the silver market, typically go broke before they are proven correct. J.P. Morgan’s dominant purchases in the copper market reflect their fear of outright loss in the silver market. Considering the notional amount (3.3 billion ounces) they are short relative to the size of the silver futures market and the global supply of physical metal, it will be interesting to see how they manage to divorce the loser they’ve inexorably hitched their wagon to.
