[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 5144408, member: 73489"]No manipulation. Both markets are tiny compared to the foreign exchange markets. But they are big enough to avoid being moved by most buys/sells. Easier to do that in more liquid markets. Nobody is lending them tens of billions on their stock holdings to manipulate commodity prices -- they'd be charged as accessories. No, they couldn't...the price collapsed because THEY WERE the market. They controlled 1/3rd of the supply in January 1980. But futures markets were much more illiquid back then. Couldn't happen today. No, the gold market trades about $50 billion a day.....a few hundred million in new buying, $1-$2 billion tops, moves it bigtime.[/QUOTE]
