Oil continues to suffer the pressure generated by solid evidence of an oversupply and strength of the dollar. Yesterday, the US Department of Energy revealed that last week the oil reserves of the country increased by 4.2 million barrels instead of the 790 000 estimated.

I've taken a teeny long on Dax 10635

Given the Dow never closes down on bad news I've just taken a long at 17300 .

If those 2 trades go up by 500 points today I might break even on the week. :whistling

In the U.S., a one percentage-point boost in rates would increase U.S. government interest costs by around $180 billion from its present level of around $400 billion. Unless offset by increased economic activity, this would increase both the budget deficit and government debt levels. The normalization of rates to say 2.50%-3.00% may prove financially and economically destabilizing.

:whistling

Thats the Dax up 300 points since 11pm last night.

Dow 'only' up 160.

So thats more taxes the government will have to collect from working class people (because big corp doesn't pay taxes) in order to pay the interest to Bankers.

Thats a great system they have!

Daxy did not make a higher high, she's going to drop a little now.

Because of these tragic events can not be excluded that investors will take on a greater geopolitical risk in their investment decisions in the oil market.

I'm sensing some 'intervention' in Europe to keep the markets positive today.

Lets see how long that lasts.
