U.S. Energy Secretary Rick Perrey said he believed that the US sanctions against Iran would be reinstated and that the decline in global oil supply would be compensated by the increase in Saudi Arabia and Russia's production. Russia's Energy Minister Aleksander Novak said that if OPEC members fail to agree on a 1 million barrel/day production increase, they will increase oil production by 200,000 barrels/day in the second half of the year, while Russian oil companies will increase their producti…

Current price: 117.73

Possible trading range:113-120.75
Signals: At first glance on the daily chart we can see a bearish signal coming from a double top ( neckline-115.83) which needs one more leg down until 116 to be taken seriously into consideration. Another worrying sign for bulls is the presence of the price just below the SMA 50.

Why it is time to bet big on Japan
Will Japan finally get out of its two decade slump?
I have heard that Japan is finally “recovering” from the very beginning of my career. Clearly all those instances have been false starts but this time there are some key differences.
The year of 1984 was a time where Japan was still economically dominant – remember all the textbooks written about Japan’s economic miracle? But Alphaville’s great song also includes the apt lyric “Here’s my comeback on the road again”.

When will we actually believe in a recovery?
There was some very interesting response after the latest upbeat UK figures. The problem with judging a recovery is that you can’t confirm it until many months later when you can look back and say, “yep, that’s a recovery”. If a few figures start slipping early on then the fear creeps back in that the good run was temporary, the problems seem as bad as ever, and we’re all doomed….again, and so on. What are we supposed to do then? Do we fade the good figures if we believe that they will rever…
