Has crude oil bottomed?


Because of the recession of 1980, crude oil declined close to 63% in 66 months. In the recent recession crude suffered the same percent loss but in just 7 months (click on graph to enlarge).

This kind of debacle suggests crude may be much closer to the bottom than the top. The main issue is whether crude is able to rise during a severe global recession. Time will tell.
