Read an article yesterday by Anatole Kaletsky - journalist on Times in London talking about his recent travels, discussion etc. Everywhere people were gloomy, but he painted a similar scenario to what I was thinking.

Oil won't be going back to $12 or whatever, but I wouldn't be surprised by say $25. I base this partly on my colleague who does oil price forecasting for a UN macroeconomic model and looking at the situation myself. Demand in Asia won't grow quite as fast as thought before and the US economy will slow (but not into a recession). Some currencies like my own (Aussie) are so beaten down that some rebound against the USD is inevitable. Recent behavior suggests it could be starting.

I don't think any rally will be anywhere as big as in 98 either.
