Commodities

Crude took a sharp dive last week to two-month lows, amid a bout of risk aversion in the financial markets. 
A sharp rebound and subsequent stabilisation of the US dollar from Monday’s two-year lows took away an important support at the start of the week. Then, in a one-two punch, the oil complex was pummelled along with the stock markets amid a sharp switch to a risk-off mode.
There is plenty to buffet global financial markets in the coming weeks, including political manoeuvres ratcheting up ahead of the November 3 US presidential election.
We share our view of what this environment means for oil, which has weak fundamentals as a consistent backdrop.
In a special report, we delve into the strong manufacturing activity pick-up in the world's major economies in August, and its implications for oil.
