20 Apr: WTI/DXY Ratio

WTI:DXY comparison chart is one of my favorite macro crude oil charts to look at because it provides a true GLOBAL price of oil adjusted to an entire basket of currencies, not just USD itself.  Once we take a look at the chart above we see just how RARE this drop is on a relative basis.  To put it in perspective, the WTI during $147 peak was 205% the DXY, and now it is just 12%!! (8% at the lows if you count that)…. needless to say this is a generational low.  the bigger issue is its running out of downside room so the bottom is approaching soon…
