Bloomberg/Mark Burton and Alex Longley/3-18-2022

“It’s getting harder to deal in some of the world’s most important commodities as everything from geopolitical turmoil to exchange snafus prompt traders to rush for the exits, rapidly draining liquidity.”

USAGOLD note: For all the traders out there who wanted to see more volatility in financial markets in order to enhance trading opportunities, you got what you wished for. The question becomes whether or not the exchanges remain stable enough to reward the winners and punish the losers – equitably and fairly.
