Mystery speculator buys 80% of London copper Over the past couple of weeks, a single, anonymous investor has bought and stockpiled 80 percent of the copper on the UK market. This strategic move comes as spot copper's premium over three-month copper hit a two-year high of US$89 this week and London copper stockpiles continue to dwindle, having dropped by over a third in 2010.This mystery investor is attempting to "corner the market"—to buy and hoard most of the copper available, thus reducing available supply and raising the price of the metal, which can then be sold at a (hopefully) substantial profit.Aside from the increase in demand caused by his hoarding, this nameless high-stakes player is also banking on forecasts that 2011 copper production will not keep pace with projected post-recession industrial demand—analysts regard copper as having the tightest supply-and-demand fundamentals of all metals—and the planned launches of three major copper-linked exchange-traded funds next year, the holdings of which will reduce available copper even more.So far, the mystery speculator's gambit is paying off, as the price of copper continues to recover from its recent fall off...more
