Little Red Open

Protests in China over the weekend regarding more COVID restrictions seems to have spooked most equities and commodities this morning, as the post-Thanksgiving hangover is magnified all the more.

More Drama

News of the Saudis eyeing a surprise production increase in oil is seeing crude dump out again and can probably explain the recent weakness before the news dropped, too. All of this is happening as we still wait for China to fully re-open. As a result, oil stocks in the OIH XLE XOP ETFs are mostly taking it on the chin to kick off the...
