Why did the Dow plunge? Banks and tech stocks drag down market

The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 460.19 points, or about 1.8 percent, at 25,502.32. Meanwhile, the "yield curve" inverted for the first time since 2007. That means a Treasury bill that matures in three months is yielding 2.45 percent -- slightly more than the yield of a Treasury note that matures in 10 years. While the yield curve is still often a predictor of recessions, it may well not be imminent.

USD/JPY Weekly Price Forecast – US dollar breaks down against Japanese yen

The US dollar has broken down a bit during the week, reaching towards the ¥110 level. This is a very bearish weekly candle stick, and it does suggest that perhaps we are going to continue to go a bit lower from here. If that's going to be the case, it's very likely that we will see a move through the ¥110 level, and perhaps down to the ¥108 level given enough time.

More shale, who cares? Saudi Arabia pushes for at least $70 oil

DUBAI/LONDON (Reuters) - Budget needs are forcing Saudi Arabia to push for oil prices of at least $70 per barrel this year, industry sources say, even though U.S. shale oil producers could benefit and Riyadh's share of global crude markets might be further eroded. Riyadh, OPEC's de facto leader, said it was steeply cutting exports to its main customers in March and April despite refiners asking for more of its oil. The move defies U.S. President Donald Trump's demands for OPEC to help reduce prices while he toughens sanctions on oil producers Iran and Venezuela.
