Dollar strength? What a sad sorry joke. Japan basically "bent over" for the US. The latest rape of the mining sector has been contrived just like the last one. Criminal fraud and corruption is systemic, like a metastasized cancer that has spread through out the body. There is no "cure." These fools are going to ride metals into the dirt, declare a force majeure, and default.
The catch phrase "nobody could have seen it coming" will sound like a mantra of self absolution as the chorus of politicians, regulators, banks, media, and the rest of the collaborators proclaim their innocence and blamelessness, and expect us to believe it like a bunch of stupid dupes.
They are going to JAIL. They better hope I'm not in the jury pool.
