====================

IMNSHO and FWIW

This type of price volatility is exactly what you expect to
see when massive market manipulation is occurring, i.e.
illogical and in violation of basic free market axioms such
as supply and demand. For example, how can prices and
supplies increase at the same time, e.g. petroleum.

Market manipulation on this scale implies sovereign/state
involvement, as individual capital, even that of George
Soros, is grossly inadequate.

Apparently the gloves are coming off in the ongoing and
rapidly escalating economic/trade wars. As is the usual
practice, the average citizens will pay the price for these
elitist/oligarchic fun & games.
