Markets And Commodities Down On Disappointing Data
It seems like the Fed rate hike hype is behind us now, and real data has taken over the markets. Main indexes dipped all throughout Wednesday’s trading, thanks to lackluster profit reports, gloomy economic growth prospects from the OECD and manufacturing reports that are not at all encouraging.

Fracklog: The Concept Dominating WTI Above $50
It is widely known that fracking was the main reason why oil took a huge dive at around July 2014. The fact that crude has not recovered fully since, is a testament to the technique’s power, and the industrial capabilities that brought US oil markets back to prominence since World War II ended. Fracking however, became a victim of its own success: once the markets reacted to excess supply, prices dipped below levels that would make fracking profitable.

Investors were caught wrong-footed by weaker-than-expected details disclosing that US employers created just 160,000 new jobs last month compared to the predicted 205,000. Further news revealed that an increasing numbers of discontented Americans exited the workforce in droves during April. These worrisome developments immediately reduced prospects that the US Federal Reserve will hike its interest rates in June. Other key parameters revealed that the ‘Unemployment Rate’ remained steady at 5% and that ‘Average Hourly Earnings’ recorded a monthly increase of 3%. The primary US indices rallied last Friday exemplified by the Dow Jones Industrial Average surging 64 points higher; the S&P500 rising by 3 points and the NASDAQ climbing by 10 points. read more…
