Examples
Notable examples of backwardation include:
- Copper circa 1990, apparently arising from market manipulation by Yasuo Hamanaka of Sumitomo Corporation in what has come to be called the "Sumitomo copper affair".
- Silver: In 2009 has been in backwardation since late January. This is due to suspected long term price suppression by JP Morgan as cited by Ted Butler.
