WTI crude oil heading to $40

WTI crude oil is heading to $40 a barrel due to accelerating supply surplus in the US and Canada, OPEC becoming redundant with UAE and Iraq threatening to leave, and the 'drill at will' global mantra. The 2008 pattern of a peak then crash is repeating.

US Treasury bond yields are likely to decline as part of the broad risk-off, pump-then-dump pattern in financial assets in the second half of the year, making long-duration US government bonds attractive.

Commodity prices to fall in H2

Super-abundance in the Western Hemisphere, technology increasing supply and reducing demand, and pump-and-dump patterns across assets signal that commodity prices broadly will continue to decline in the second half of the year.
