Gav CME klartecken för JP Morgan blanka silver för att komma ur sina korta positioner?
Noterade ett intressant inlägg på Turd Fergusons blogg som helt klart är värt att uppmärksamma. Det visar sig nämligen att CME (som äger Comex), bara ett par dagar innan den brutala nedgången för guld och framförallt silver, skickade ut en press-release där man mer eller mindre gav tillfällig dispens för aktörer att fortsätta manipulera råvarumarknaden då man beslutat att lämna det upp till aktörerna själva att se till att man följer de nya reglerna (som skulle träda i kraft den 20 september) utan rapporteringskrav till CME.
Det verkar med andra ord som om CME låter JP Morgan få en sista chans att komma ur alla sina korta positioner i framförallt silver innan Dodd-Frank reglerna träder i kraft. Gruppstämningen mot JP Morgan för manipulation av silvermarknaden lär göra den korrupta investmentbanken än mer angelägen om att komma ur sina positioner innan det är för sent.
Här är en kommentar från Turds blogg:
PLEASE EVERYONE email/call/write to the CFTC immediately and ask them what :
‘a good faith attempt to comply with the reporting requirements’ means…..especially seeing as there is an ongoing INVESTIGATION INTO SILVER MANIPULATION. This CFTC release, the DAY BEFORE the smash, allowed the banks to go beyond speculative position limits and effectively be given cover to go as unhedged short as they like. JPM apparently have 350 guys working on the ramifications of Dodd-Frank – imo clearly the class action lawsuit has them running for cover and they used their ‘friends’ at the CFTC to provide covering fire for them to try and exit as many shorts as possible before the (again delayed) speculative position limit changes come into play. Please spread and circulate this story but more importantly put some serious heat on the CFTC themselves.
Och nedan är press-releasen i sin helhet:
CFTC’s Division of Market Oversight Provides Temporary Relief from Large Swaps Trader Reporting for Physical Commodities
Washington, DC – The Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (Commission’s) Division of Market Oversight (Division) today issued a letter providing temporary relief from the requirements of the Commission’s regulations regarding large trader reporting of physical commodity swaps (§§20.3 and 20.4). Because this is the first time that swaps data is being collected, this temporary relief is intended to provide sufficient time to enable both the industry and the Commission to develop and refine systems and processes that will be able to report these complex transactions.
On July 22, 2011, the Commission published large trader reporting rules for physical commodity swaps and swaptions. The rules require daily reports from clearing organizations, clearing members and swap dealers, and become effective on September 20, 2011. The letter issued today provides temporary relief from reporting, as long as parties are making a good faith attempt to comply with the reporting requirements, until November 21, 2011, for cleared swaps, and January 20, 2012, for uncleared swaps. Upon the conclusion of applicable relief periods, such reporting parties must become fully compliant.
