Chapter 29: The Undercurrent (1)

Discussions similar to those that took place in the Sagittarius Fund were taking place in all corners of the U.S. market, and even in Tokyo, London, Frankfurt, and even Hong Kong, where traders in different time zones were watching the U.S. capital markets at this time.

Because Zhong Shi's interview revealed a lot of information, traders in different markets can smell a little bit of their own field, so whether it is a trader who focuses on the commodity market or the foreign exchange market, or a trader who simply uses stocks as a trading strategy, they are all relish to interpret the deep meaning of Zhong Shi's words and judge whether there are various possibilities in the future.

There is no way, the information revealed by the other party in the conversation is too shocking, especially the paragraph about his net worth. In addition, the various financial terminals quickly launched the introduction of Zhongshi, and the part that once cooperated with the Hong Kong government to repel the international financial predators made traders worship.

"Damn, what the hell is this guy going to do?"

Inside the base camp fund, Kenneth. In the past few minutes, the spread between the 0703 and 0704 contracts has quickly narrowed from 1.05 to 0.99, and the floating profit of nearly $20 million has disappeared because of Zhong Shi's words, which naturally makes Kenneth Griffin very angry.

After the base fund took over the position of the non-withering fund, the difference between the two was $0.78, and after more than half a month of rebound, the price has risen to more than $1. This gave the base fund a taste of the sweetness. But as soon as Zhong Shi's words came out, these floating profits immediately generated a lot of uncertain factors.

Originally, according to common sense, the market may target Zhongshi's part of the position, because the other party has revealed its identity and intentions. But the next words immediately dispelled the idea of the natural gas trader in the market, the other party's funds are too large, even if the final physical delivery is possible, in this case it is undoubtedly self-defeating to be a counterparty to him, so the trader who quickly figured it out stood on Zhongshi's side.

Of course, there are also some traders who are desperate and determined to make counterparties in the opposite direction of 0703 and 0704.

Because the market is reversed. The first to bear the brunt of the course is the base camp fund. They are now the other pole in the market. After being annoyed for a long time, Griffin finally calmed down, he knew very well that the other party was really wealthy, so he didn't shy away from exposing his identity in the market.

"Why the hell is that?" Griffin was deep in thought. Half a day passed. A sudden thought popped into his head. After thinking about it for a while, he dialed the internal phone, "Charles." Come to my office. ”

Charles. Winca is the investment director of the base fund, and at the age of 40, he has already appeared to have a top, and his bare head is shiny, a trait that is so impressive that many times traders do not call him by his first name, but simply call him "baldhead".

As the investment director of the quantitative fund, Charles naturally has his own advantages, in fact, although he is not a scientist, but when it comes to experience in the market, no one in the entire base fund can beat it. In the 80s, he was active as a floor trader on the New York Mercantile Exchange, and later joined the fund industry, where he quickly made a name for himself, and then moved to the base fund, where he was responsible for monitoring and formulating trading strategies.

Soon, Charles. Winca came to Griffin's office, he had just come here from the trading floor and was a little puzzled, still thinking about the market just now, so he seemed a little absent-minded after sitting across from Griffin, but as Griffin spoke, he realized that his boss and himself thought together.

"It's a big problem!" Charles subconsciously touched his smooth forehead and sighed, "I absolutely don't believe that such a big man would say such things at will, so he must have some purpose." However, we do not understand what the purpose of this is for the time being, but one thing is certain, he will never dare to manipulate the market at this time. ”

Because of the collapse of the withered fund, many subsequent effects began to slowly appear. Hunter was questioned by the SEC for investigation, and the media focused on the former star trader, and the market was focused on the natural gas market, so even if Zhongshi was given 10,000 guts, he would not dare to do anything at this time.

"yes!" Griffin nodded approvingly, but this did not explain the doubts in his heart, and after thinking for a while, he said tentatively, "Charles, is the other party sending a friendly signal and preparing to close the position with us?" If it's really as he says, he should have made a lot of money so far, and it's time to stop? ”

"This ......" Charles's eyes lit up, and he suddenly raised his head to look at Griffin, but when he saw the uncertainty on the other party's face, he sighed secretly in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "It's not impossible." But the problem is that if the other side doesn't think so, but we are wishful thinking, maybe the situation will not be so rosy. Anyway, it's also a possibility, let's wait and see, if the other party really thinks so, he will definitely reflect this intention on the board. ”

See such experienced Charles. Winca couldn't be sure of the other party's intentions, and Griffin couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but after thinking about it carefully, he still had to wait until the other party clearly revealed his intentions before he could prescribe the right medicine, after all, the other party just said "casually", and the specific situation still had to be seen clearly on the plate.

"But I personally think it's very likely!" Charles thought about it again and again, and finally couldn't help but speak, "I personally think that the other party can't be in the natural gas market for too long, after all, he is not an entity, so he cut off the possibility of delivery." Although he claims to own a stake in an oil company, unstorable natural gas naturally has more drawbacks than expensive, easily transported oil, so he will definitely close it before this contract expires. In addition, he hinted that there will be problems in the US economy, and perhaps he is planning to take advantage of this time to close his position and hold cash, maybe this is an opportunity for us! ”

"What opportunity?" Griffin was stunned for a moment, then his eyes began to roll wildly, and he quickly figured out the cause and effect relationship, and said, "Is it in order to close the position quickly, maybe the other party will give up a part of the profits that he swallowed the withered flower before?" If so, that's great! ”

Seeing his boss's longing look, Charles smiled and didn't say anything more.

"Okay, if that's the case, you let the trader increase the offensive, first crush those small scattered forces in the market, and force out the other party's true body!" After thinking carefully for a long time, Griffin finally made up his mind to drive away some of the investors who were confused in the market, and then wait for the other party to reveal his true intentions.
