When markets grow "unstable", the CME claims it is restoring order by raising margins. In reality, it tightens the vise. Leverage becomes a weapon turned against those who depend on it. Traders are forced to liquidate, panic spreads, & volatility explodes. The system performs a ritual purge, sweeping away the weak & the overexposed. What follows looks like a market failure, but it is not. It is discipline, cold, mechanical, & indifferent to reality. The deeper truth, such as genuine demand & long-term strength, survives beneath the wreckage, unseen & ignored
Sunday night and the early hours of Mon will draw eyes, as they always do when tension rises. But whatever the immediate outcome up, down, or sideways, the strength in the metals is not an illusion. It has been building quietly, ignored until it could no longer be dismissed. What has simmered beneath the surface is now forcing its way into view
