Market Realist•7 hours agoOil Bulls: OPEC Might Have a Rescue Plan
As of November 12, US crude oil prices have fallen 27.1% from the multiyear closing high of $76.41 per barrel on October 3. Oversupply concerns have led the decline in oil prices. Based on a Reuters report, OPEC members and non-OPEC oil producers might develop a plan to reduce their oil output by up to 1.4 MMbpd (million barrels per day) in 2019. In the oil market report on November 14, the International Energy Agency expects global oil demand growth to rise by 1.3 MMbpd and 1.4 MMbpd in 2018 and 2019, respectively. A production cut of that magnitude might limit oil’s fall.

Since the start of this year, there has been a severe fall in the prices of almost all commodities (COMT) like copper, nickel, lead, cobalt, and gold (GLD). Factors such as the stronger US dollar (UUP), higher interest rates, weakness in emerging markets, and increasing trade tensions have been the major reasons for the slump in commodities. The trade war has started taking its toll on China (FXI), which is a negative for commodities, as China is the mainstay for many commodity producers.

What Acting AG Matthew Whitaker Means For Investors
In addition to a shift in the House majority and the passage of a number of new ballot measures this week, investors got one more major curveball from Washington when President Donald Trump ordered U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions to step down from his position and selected Matthew Whitaker as his temporary replacement. The Mueller investigation appears to have advanced prior to the midterm elections, Allen said in a note, but Whitaker will likely immediately take steps to limit the scope and duration of the probe.

Market Realist•7 days agoTrump was Wrong about the Market
Voting for Democrats was spectacular! A few weeks ago, we told investors that you really wanted to see the Democrats take the House.

The Dow Jones Industrials (DIA) are up 2% along with the S&P 500 (SPX), while the Nasdaq (QQQ) is up 2.5%. So far, so good.

Tariffs, Drug Prices, Legislative Gridlock: What Economists Are Watching Following The Midterm Election
Democrats didn’t get the blue wave they hoped for Tuesday, but they picked up enough votes to take the majority in the House of Representatives, with Republicans maintaining control of the Senate. A Democratic House could provide some resistance to President Donald Trump’s trade war tariffs on China. The potential for Democrats to pressure Trump to back down on China is theoretically good news for U.S. companies that rely on Chinese supply and demand.

Why Stocks Are Poised for 12-Month Rally
An oft-repeated maxim is that the stock market hates uncertainty, and a major cause for uncertainty has been resolved, given that the U.S. midterm congressional elections are now behind us. In Tuesday's midterm vote, returns indicate that the Democrats won a majority in the House while the Republicans held their majority in the Senate. But the Yardeni Reseach study—and other studies—show that stocks have risen in the 12 months after every midterm election from 1954 through 2014, a span of six decades, without exception, and regardless of which party posted gains.

Tesla’s Stock Seen Plunging 44% as Profit Fuel Runs Out
After cratering hard in recent months, Tesla Inc. ( TSLA) has picked up speed in just the last month, gaining more than 35%. UBS analyst Colin Langan argues that Tesla’s earnings received some “unexpected help” in the form of a decrease in the company’s warranty provision and a large inflow from government credits. The largest boost to Tesla’s profits came from the company’s sale of government credits that it earned through the production of clean energy products, such as its electric cars.
