Crude heading for $40/barrel

Crude futures (Light Crude December 2015 – CLZ2015) broke support at $44.70 per barrel, warning of another test of primary support at $40. Follow-through below $43 would confirm. Supply continues to exceed demand and breach of $40 would offer a (long-term) target of $30*. Recovery above $50 per barrel is most unlikely unless there is a serious disruption to supply.
