Gold is above 1400 again, petrol was 8% up for the day and the Asian markets are dropping . I am not sure why the US markets were closed for today (?
holiday) but I am sure tomorrow will be interesting!
Thin markets. No volume because of the banking holiday.
Crude oil just dropped 2 dollars on about 150 contracts of volume from 715 - 815 EST. Which is anemic volume.
On banking holidays where only the futures markets are open you can generally expect absolutely no movement or huge volatility with very little
volume.
We will see tomorrow what is going to happen, if the drop was just a "sample" for the days to come.I understand your explanation, however I think
its the middle-east context making affecting the markets now.. we will see in a few hours then!
DOW, down about 1% , NASDAQ 2 % . The trent will continue, I guess its the oil supply panick that makes the markets drop. Oil over 120 $ per barel
would kik us back into recession for another 2-3 years.. Good luck everyone!
