Thank you for comment 😉
The yuan will join the IWF
as another reserve currency, the oil deluge continues and with Iran coming on
stream early next year will increase and ‘junk bonds’ are finally viewed by the
markets as what they are: JUNK. The shale oil/gas industry will have to roll
over most of the loans in 2016 and Bloombergs believe that some shale oil firms
have overstated their inventories. Ms. Yellen is aware of all of this and a lot
more; the FOMC meeting on 15-16 December should be interesting.
