Where did you get your (facts) or did you just pull it out of.
Well, let's see;
The Chinese stockmarket has just about crashed. Their currency has been devalued by their government in hopes that they will owe less if the value of their buck is worth less. They are in an economic slow down. They use 25% of all the world's oil consumption. If they even cut their oil use, not just for energy, but for petroleum based goods such as plastics, by even 3%, then that alone would drive the market down. I get those facts right off the evening news NBC with Lester Holt. From the Sacramento Bee newspaper, the capital of California. From the Wall Street Journal to name just a few.

Add that the USA just lifted the embargo on Iran to start selling oil too, prices are going to continue to fall as these countries scramble to grab enough money to keep from falling into deep recession. I figured this was common knowledge by now. It's been on just about every network evening news broadcast since October certainly.
