It's not longer a mystery.
JP Morgan revealed as mystery trader that bought £1bn-worth of copper
Stupid speculators.
I'm not expert but the world stock of copper but Bolivia is practically made out of it. Just who are they trying to hold to ransom?
This pushed up the price for the immediate delivery of copper to $8,700 – its highest level since the financial crisis in October 2008.
A high premium on the spot copper price normally reflects fear of a shortage of the metal,JP Morgan panicking? Trying to make money before their inevitable losses on Silver.

Ok, ffs - how is that not market manipulation? How is it even ******* possible for a single trader to remain unknown whilst getting such a massive stake?

He is not unknown - just not publicly named. It's not market manipulation; just a fracking large position.
Maybe he has a lot of bedsits in Birmingham that he wants to re-plumb? AtW might be getting an indoor lav soon.

Mystery trader captures 80pc of London's copper market
The unknown buyer has been building up the dominant position since at least last week, putting a squeeze on the market.
According to the rules of the London Metal Exchange, the trader must lend out copper if it holds between 50pc and 80pc of the total to maintain day-to-day liquidity in the market. The trader is currently lending at a 0.5pc premium to the cash price.
The premium for spot price copper over delivery in three months' time reached $89 in the middle of this week - the highest in two years.
