    LME’s daily price movement limits make no sense to me, when the so-called “price” is so out of whack with the real supply-demand curve. Clearly the price needs to get to somewhere around the mid-twenties (ie $25,000 / tonne) before real trading resumes. $25k would be great for producers like our NIC (who were making a decent margin at $17k / tonne).

    As I understand it, they’ve changed to movement limits from 5% to 8% and now to 12% in a matter of days - can’t they make up their minds? You can do the maths yourself - it’s going to take several more days of 12% reductions to bring the price back to reality and obviously it should have taken far longer at 5%.

    What gives?
