There was intraday commentary here.
The thought is that the big metals shorts are hammering the paper prices in thin trading to 'paint the tape' for their year end mark-to-market.
It smelled like a capitulation today, but as the volumes were so thin I would not care to call it. But 1524 had the look of a bottom. Aggressive traders must be chomping at the bit.
Let's see how the year ends.
