Always amusing how the market decides to take a breather right after I've topped up my long positions. Guess it just wanted to check if I was paying attention.
It seems like the recent OPEC+ decision to maintain current production levels, coupled with demand concerns from China's property market issues, is putting downward pressure on oil prices. The stronger dollar isn't helping either.
Wow, that's a big drop. I'm wondering if it's mostly tied to the broader economic slowdown fears, or if there's something specific to oil supply/demand news today?
