Week in Review
For the week, crude prices were up slightly. The week started up on Monday on news of falling rig counts. On Tuesday the market spiked over $2 on the news that Trump would delay part of the latest round of tariffs from September to December.
However, Wednesday brought back recessionary fears as the yield curve inverted – a reliable sign that a recession is coming. The market wiped out most of Tuesdays gains and is up marginally for the week as trading ended the week relatively flat.
