Morning all. Markets still finding support this morning with Oil recovering further and some talk in Europe about more lock down easing. I want to turn my attention to last night’s White House Coronavirus Briefing because of Trump’s attempts to downplay the Coronavirus outlook. If any of you have been […]
Morning all. I’m sure most of you have caught some $oil headlines, an unprecedented situation unfolding where a futures contract went into negative value.
