Opening Market Summary

Stan - yes.

Thanks Skinny, Could be a market mover in that case, which way is another matter.

US Futures

The global economy is collapsing and oil reflects that. Japan is in recession, if not starting a depression. Europe is almost as bad. Germany, the engine of Euro growth is sputtering. There is almost no growth elsewhere in Europe. Sanctions are hurting Russia badly, and they were a big buyer from the EU. China's credit fueled boom is over. Building ghost cities can't continue forever. Iron ore prices have collapsed, China has about twice the number of steel mills than could ever operate at a profit. The rest of the countries that supplied raw materials to China (Australia, Canada, etc.) aren't doing well as a consequence. The USA will not be able to escape the consequences forever. It's having a financial boom, but the real economy is at best flat. It's a global economy and every country in interlinked.
