Japan -------- While the focus was firmly on developments in North Africa and the Middle East on Monday, efforts to contain the nuclear disaster in Japan continued. - There were some signs of stabilization at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant on Monday, with news that temperatures at the six spent fuel storage pools had been reduced to below boiling point, according to reports. - The post-quake reconstruction in Japan may have an impact on crude prices, as the rebuilding efforts are expected to increase oil demand given the extent of infrastructure damage, according to analysts at Nomura.
I've done a number of trades this morning, overall slight loss. V whippy today, not much follow through. (This "posting too soon after your last post" is annoying me as well!)
We all hate this. And it is range bound so far. Waiting for the next news cycle perhaps. Hope everyone had a good night.
