Oil prices are continuing in their correction. All Tuesday they were in a $49.5-50.0 range per barrel of Brent, however a report from the API showed a growth in reserves of 1.518 million barrels against a previous week”s fall of 3.560 million barrels. As a result, oil dropped straight to $49.2 per barrel. On Wednesday during the Asian session, it managed to restore only to $49.1 after a fall to $48.9. This evening will see more oil reserve reports from the US (this time from the EIA) which are likely to lead to a rise in market volatility.

The Shanghai Composite rose 1.4% and the Hang Seng rose 0.3%. Futures for the S&P500 —were trading at 2064; 0.1% below the previous trading day”s closing level.
