Sunday night in the US will monday in China. Shanghai only deals in deliverable physical metals no paper contracts to distort prices. True market discovery.
Sorry Steven 49er for misreading the day. Yeah, makes more sense to me now
I have sort of a funny story about time differences between China and here. I used to work with a Chinese guy who was born the day after I was in the same year. I used to give him crap about it in a nice way.
But, a long time after we met and knew this "day' difference, I asked him what time of the day were you born? He sort of fidgeted around and didn't give me an exact time, perhaps he really didn't really know because Chicom land supposedly only has one official time zone although the local regions go on their own time and I think he was born in north-central China. Anyway, he said "early morning". I did the conversion and finally figured out that he was probably 3 to 4 hours older than me, even though he's birthday was still a day behind me when it was listed in the USA (or Canada, this guy had somehow finagled a CAN citizenship, it was always sort of fun to hear about him driving up to the Pembina crossing once about every three years and getting his work visa renewed).
I always sort of treated him and most of the other Chicom born professionals I worked with as double agents. The Chicom government would haven't let them out of the country without a reason AND the U.S. government would keep them around (or even more naturalize them as citizens) without a reason. This guy truly thought the three thousand year Chinese culture was better than ours.
