Feel happy rally disappears as oil swings down

Friday happiness seem to have lasted only the Asian hours on Monday and in European hours, tensions and volatility seem to be back in the market. Friday's ground breaking 10% rally in oil is fading and price has started to head south again.

  • Japanese benchmark stock index, which was up in Asia and closed 0.9%, is down now close to -1.5% in CFD.
  • Australia's ASX200, which closed at 1.85%, now trading flat in future
  • UK's FTSE 100 is down -0.4%
  • European blue chip index is down close to -0.8%.
  • DAX CFD is down -0.8%
  • France's CAC40 CFD is down -0.9%
  • Italy and Spain's benchmarks are down -0.4 and -0.9% respectively.
  • SPX 500 is pointing to -0.4% loss.

And blame the change in mood on oil.

  • North American benchmark WTI is down -3.6%, trading at $31/barrel
  • Global benchmark Brent is down -3.1%, trading at 10 cents premium to WTI.

Safe havens on the other hand, enjoying bids.
