RE:Humor MeMy take:
1) There were a couple of high volume days last week-my guess, as previously stated, is that these were "F&F" of "F&F" who we told to buy-in-there was enough of a supply to allow these buys without big price increase, and
2) Because of what happened last year, when there were widespread rumours, other people are cynical about LME and not willing to buy based on BO rumours.
