chaRTroom link to monitor the Globex session
Markets had closed before being able to react to Friday’s news that the Saudi oil minister was replaced. It’s being viewed as bearish for oil prices, but we’ll soon see how much the market cares.
Possibly more influential to the markets — at least, in astro- finance circles — is the new moon cycle that began Friday. This is called a super-moon, being at its closest point to earth. Giving it even greater significance is the coincidental timing of a rare passing by Mars between earth and the sun.
Apparently, the alignment is a sign of the end times. So, be sure your positions are hedged accordingly, in case the markets have not already discounted it. Monitor that in the chaRTroom when Globex opens at 6pm ET.
