- The only good news: there is no momentum on the downside and speculation in select stocks appears to be strong.
- The real concern: decelerating growth globally and sticky inflation. Economic data from China continues to be bad.
- Natural Gas prices are at 2014 highs. Tellurian is a company that builds infrastructure to move natural gas from the US to other export markets. One can hope that this move will stick.
