Much to our dismay, overnight we learned that while the CFTC continues to be very, very confused and challenged by all those lobby payments by the world's "liquidity providing" HFTs and ignores all documented evidence of manipulation, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange - owner of the futures exchange wheer the bulk of modern manipulation takes place - did read this evidence of manipulation, and decided to immediately take action, suspending two traders for placing the manipulative "spoofing and layering" trades profiled here three days ago which were virtually identical to the ones that got Navinder Singh Sarao into headlines around the world last week. Except, of course, the asset class manipulated was gold. And, perhaps what's far worse, the manipulation sent the price of gold briefly higher.
