Crude losing steam completely. I being short at crude thought 49.3 would be support today..it was not. I thought rig count may surprise. At last, I was waiting for manipulators to come and push it to 49.5....With German 10y yields touching 0.01 level, this is a clear indicator of bear market. Now, after this massive sell-off, debt ridden Chinese firms will shock the world. There is no way Oil is going to stay at this level. Copper is at multi-year lows clearly indicating low demand from China, other commodities like Zinc, Aluminium including Oil will have some decent corrections next week. If not, short bonds, Gold and long equities..
