Monday

Gasoline hasn’t been as low as $5 (per US gallon) in about 20 years. We’ve rarely been much under $7 for that matter.

Brent crude is flirting with $79 this morning (10:20 AM CET), and gold is hovering at $5400 an ounce, up from below $5000 less than ten days ago. In cities here, women have been warned not to wear necklaces with gold chains in public, since a fast thief could make himself a couple of thousand dollars in a day by ripping the chains off of three or four women, and then disappearing in the crowd.
