    1. in my humble opinion, oil ran up big ahead of iran sanctions and came crashing down when usa caved in and made sweeping exemptions to all countries that are large buyers of iranian oil. the current level reflects the cost of producing an additional barrel of crude. $57 oil ($67 brent) cannot be interpreted to be so low that it is signalling weak demand and a recession. the additional $20 run up and the elimination of that froth in a short period of time created an illusion.
