No place to hide: How market manipulation in the age of pandemic is destroying traditional safe havens
The Coronavirus pandemic has created enormous volatility in global financial markets but prices of safe haven assets such as gold and bitcoin are not surging, as one might expect, thanks to intense and large-scale manipulation, according to analysis by the University of Sussex Business School.
The contrast with the last major global financial catastrophe is telling. Following the Lehman Brothers collapse in September 2008, the correlations between the S&P 500 index and gold, or the Swiss Franc, or US Treasuries were all around minus 40%. During March and April 2020 the correlation between the S&P 500 index and gold was plus 20%....
The biggest beneficiaries of these market attacks, beyond those placing the trades, are holders of US dollars and US assets. These become the main sources of positive returns for global investors in attempts to curtail the recent trend of some central banks to diversify their reserves away from the US dollar.
The CryptoMarketRisk team at the University of Sussex Business School have been tracking trades on these markets in recent months and have detailed huge sell orders on gold futures, massive pump and dump on copper futures and large spoofing orders on key crypto exchanges.
Some single trades on COMEX have been so large as to move prices - clear contraventions of US laws on market abuse. But widespread market turmoil means regulators such as the CFTC have a lot on their plates right now, meaning even large-scale manipulation of these markets to remain below the radar of regulators.
Carol Alexander, Professor of Finance at the University of Sussex Business School, said: “As funds flow out of equities one would expect demand for gold and bitcoin to increase. But this time around, safe havens have behaved completely differently. Gold and bitcoin have fallen at the same time as US equities.
“As the S&P 500 crashed in March 2020, gold had its worst week in eight years when it should have been its best, because of massive shorts on COMEX gold futures. Bitcoin has also been driven down by some pretty obvious manipulation bots on the unregulated crypto derivatives exchanges, especially BitMEX.
“We are witnessing financial market manipulations on a scale and frequency that have rarely been seen before. The lack of integrity by a few powerful market players is causing a major financial market melt-down from which the current form of our global economy may never recover.”

Hi Herbieridesaga,
There are those that claim that that manipulation is a conspiracy theory, they are ill informed, ignorant of all of the facts or choose ton keep the status quo for whatever reason.
Trumps term of term of office has made it even more apparent that the US Federal reserve /BIS have been manipulating the markets for decades and now with the Covid -19 crisis the head of the Fed doesn't t even try to hide the fact, because after all its for the good of America!
Its not for me to say where gold is going, although I wont be selling Centamin!
Thank you for your post!
High Mr Tibbles - my fave main gold man - I noted last week on the Monday the two sharp drops at start of US market as per the classic "how to short gold" tactic, and it happened although less obviously yesterday when gold was already dropping. Now guess what. The day the dollar rises, gold turns at cob UK and is now up. My conclusion - though I am very much the novice here is this is gross manipulation in the face of massive money supply increase (for justifiable reasons) to hold down POG. I think it worked this week as a lot of the gold miners fell and now the market is closed and they have their victims they have let the breaks off - what do you think to that ?
I asked a well established London precious metals trader their opinion on the POG drop
Their opinion
Very skewed view, & clearly not a wholesale view, massive delays at refiners for both gold and silver
100 tonnes of Swiss exports to the US tells a different story.
We did actually close just over 160 today though!
