it is about oil, not nickel
Read past the inanely long description of futures. Lme retroactively cancelled trades from yesterday due to a massive short squeeze on nickel
LME: Gentlemen. You cant fight in here. This is the War Room!

>China's Tsingshan Holding Group, one of the world's top nickel and stainless steel producers, had been building a short position in nickel since last year, betting prices would fall, three sources familiar with the matter said.

Nice covering for China.

>Tsingshan and the LME declined to comment.

I bet they did.

>The LME is owned by Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Ltd.
