I think bad*, If I was china I would short the paper and pick up the physical directly from the miners cheap (including mining stocks) *If by bad you mean lower spot price, for me lower spot price = GOOD! still accumulating
oh shyt we are dooomd :O good on them if america and euro can speculate and manipulate why not the rest of the world since i assume, based on left brain, PRC is anti-USD, then this can only mean GOOD NEWS (up till the complete collapse of USD/EURO). anything that will encourage driving up 'demand' and expose more holes, got my vote for office HKMEx is gonna rock .
