Analysis

Oil Crash Signals Demand Destruction or Supply Shock

WTI crude plunging 7.6% to $87.48 while equities hold green suggests either demand destruction fears or unexpected supply increase. This magnitude of oil decline typically precedes either recession concerns or inflation relief. Given 10Y yields rising 0.63% to 4.31%, markets aren't pricing recession yet. Watch for confirmation in energy equities and inflation expectations.
