Brent. Actually a good sign here that $50 is some kind of support. Volatility is still relatively high compared to 3y ago. It doesn't look like the beginnings of a rally to me, but I get the impression that most oil market participants would just settle for some short term price stability and are very tired of the rollercoaster.

BDI. Shipping has come way off, which is not a great sign, looking back on the chart it does look like a number above 800 has been supportive of equity prices so will be watching this level closely to see how we move around it.

No major updates to sentiment as only small shift has occurred with some investors moving away from a bearish 6 month outlook into neutral.


No major updates to valuations, although it will be interesting to see updated data as the US earnings season rolls through.
