Thanks Doug

this was a very interesting article and raises valid questions.

More on the markets reaction to Paris

The Real Effects of ISIS on the Oil Markets

Call it a patriotic rally, a statement of resolve, poking a finger in the eye of ISIS, or simply a market responding to a threat, but yesterday’s advance said something about how investors viewed the impact of events in Paris.

Terror will not dictate Western markets.

Not too long ago, the horrific events of last Friday would have caused an immediate (and appreciable) spike in crude prices. Traditionally, destabilizing or threat-inducing actions on the international stage have increased the uncertainty factor, fueled volatility, and prompted a move to cover shorts.

Not now.
