“Traditional speculation” consists of traders who actually buy a commodity to physically store it in the hope that the price will increase by the time they decide to re-sell it on the market. This form of speculation has the most adverse effect as it withdraws stocks from the market for storage purpose, thereby reducing supply.
Cette forme de spéculation a l’effet le plus préjudiciable, car elle retire des stocks du marché pour les placer dans des entrepôts, ce qui fait diminuer l’offre.
