Crude Oil ( WTI ) - $82.00 // $0.23 // 0.28% Commentary: A stunning reversal had crude oil and equity markets recouping a significant portion of Wednesday's losses. Such an enormous level of quantitative easing would be seen as bullish for risk assets as it would create a much more stimulative economic environment, in addition to fanning fears of future inflation down the line. The report was fairly neutral, but the bullish trend of a declining surplus was arrested largely due to an uptick in imports and depressed levels of U.S. demand.
