### Comment:
short term prices will go up. They won't hold there for long tho.

### REPLY:
They will remain higher than they were before for years, possibly decades. If miners and processors in Australia could beat China's prices with just a couple years of investment and development they'd have already started on this years ago and would be supplying the world, but they can't and so they aren't. Instead China produces about 90% of the world's current consumption. The price increase will be both severe and long-lasting, there is no non-magical reason to think otherwise.

### END.
