The fact that they’re making companies sign 5-year contracts for the current prices before selling anything at all says that they’re expecting the demand to collapse soon, and they want to lock in the high prices before that happens.
When industries pull this bullshit, they should be nationalized.
I didn’t think of it that way… but yeah that makes sense. They obviously think this is the top of the market and it can only go down. Why else would you force major brands to lock in here?

This. You would never do this if you thought prices would go up each year for the foreseeable future.
