Opinion Wednesday 25 November 2015

Markets were rattled just as I posted my commentary yesterday morning following news that Turkey had shot down a Russian fighter jet near the Syrian border, after allegedly repeated warnings of Turkish airspace violation. Reaction to the news saw European stocks and US equity futures moved sharply lower. Oil prices were boosted amid the increase in tensions in the Middle East while a safe haven bid dragged core Global Bond Yields lower.

For anybody following my New Platinum Service it made 80 points yesterday and is now ahead by 1326 points for November. The previous five months saw gains of 1600, 2833, 2195, 1810 and 3045 points respectively.
