    Yes, there is a very clear reason. It was talk of an OPEC freeze in production. That clearly will NOT happen and oil will fall much further.

    Why? Iran has clearly stated it intends to up production which can increase supply markedly since sanctions have been lifted. Kuwait has stated it won't freeze and most importantly,Saudi oil minister Ali Al-Naimi stated categorically, “There is no sense in wasting our time in seeking production cuts. That will not happen.” Excess supply equates to lower price.

    And talking of supply, storage at Cushing and the Gulf farms is pushing 90%! There is no place to store this ####!

    Next stop, $20.

    Today I heard an interesting summation that might give us a clue to less freight movement. A business report stated China's exports were down 25% for February. Folks, this is a tremendous amount of freight that is not coming to our docks. Hate to say this but; So goes China so goes us.

    It's definitely a global economy, when one large country slows we all feel it.
