2008年,风靡全球的商品大牛市面临着市场投机和操纵行为的严峻考验。投机者被指责为一手操纵了节节攀升的石油和食品价格,导演了各种商品价格剧烈的上下振荡,制造出大量的市场泡沫。立法者呼吁有关监管部门采取紧急措施遏制投机行为,以免产生泡沫高位破裂而导致市场“崩盘”的可能性。 In 2008, the global commodity bull market faced severe tests of market speculation and manipulation. Speculators were accused of grossly manipulating rising petroleum and food prices, directing dramatic price swings in various commodities and creating large market bubbles. Legislators called for the relevant regulatory authorities to take urgent measures to curb speculation in order to avoid the possibility of a “collapse” in the market caused by the bursting of a bubble bubble.
