Commodity Corner: Morning Comments

Good morning,

 

DXH0  95.125  -0.809                   GCJ0  1677.7 +5.3                                              ESH0  2819.00  -145.00                CLJ0  31.75  -9.53

 

Saudi Arabia basically declared an oil war with Russia and the world over the weekend, following the reluctance of Russia to agree to the deeper production quota targets proposed by OPEC last week.  The Saudis said they will open the spickets and pump a bunch of oil to drive prices down to painful levels for Russia and US producers.  Risk off is an understatement from the overnight trade, with most assets, aside from the safe havens of gold and fixed income.  S&P futures are locked limit down.  Oil traded well below $30.  Gold traded above $1700.  US Treasury yields are at all time lows, with 10 yr yields touching 0.314% and 30 yr yields 0.699%. 

 

Rather than commentary, since all markets are handcuffed by the oil crisis and plunging equities, it probably makes more sense to just give market updates in futures and the overnight ranges (from 6 AM CST):
