Is the government helping speculators manipulate grain futures?
Salon.com
While the activities of the Agriculture Department don’t always garner a lot of attention, a highly questionable decision it recently made to help wealthy speculators could, over time, cost anyone who buys food. But while the decision — a big win for high-frequency traders at the expense of farmers, food companies, and the public — is consequential, its effects have hardly been reported.
jlne.ws/10zBEyu
***** There is a battle being waged between commercial firms and high-frequency traders. Commercial firms used to have a monopoly on the market after the government numbers were released. They could operate freely in the cash market or the over-the-counter market without the distraction of the highly visible and easily accessible futures markets. This is not the case anymore and they are demonizing the competition, high-frequency traders, who are acting before they are acting and helping bring prices to new price levels reflecting the government numbers released. No one likes to lose a monopoly and slinging baloney at the competition is a sign of weakness.
