Bobbys Corner-Open Market-January.23.2012
Asian trading was muted as the start the Chinese New Year kept many Asian market participants away.
In a move that has been anticipated- EU Foreign Ministers announced that there will a ban on Iranian oil imports beginning July 1st in an effort to pressure the nation to contain its nuclear program. The EU will try to put measures in place to ease the pain of an embargo for some countries, like Greece
Iran has been meeting with Indian officials on how to maintain trade-as the world looks to tighten sanctions around Iran and countries doing business with them. Iran is India’s second largest oil supplier-and they have discussed Iran being paid in rupees. Iran is seeking partial payment in JPY-as Iran is concerned about the value of the rupee staying somewhat stable.
Equity markets are higher-as are US Futures.
Oil, Gold and silver are all higher.
HAVE A GREAT DAY & GOOD LUCK
