You are completely bassackwards here. I have been referencing the broad equity market index (the S&P 500) throughout this thread and in the specific comment you referenced above. I was referring to your specific post: "If you look closely, a lot times crude follow the energy index nicely" as...

You are making a very specific statement that Crude Oil follows a benchmark energy index - perhaps the ETF XLE is the most popular. Other way around. I am interpreting your statement in the most literal sense. If you have an IB account - look at the crude oil futures order book and the XLE...

If you look even closer at the market microstructure - energy indices follow the Crude Oil Futures.

Bob, they are very active OTC products. The futures never made much sense.

Iran's shenanigans.

Work backwards - go to the SHFE website and see if they have Member FCM’s listed that you can use. Try to avoid a broker with a clearing “give-up” agreement.

There are 363,341 Chinese students enrolled in US Universities at present.

Google the WTO complaint the EU filed in 2018 against China and expanded in December. The US isn’t the only trading partner with serious concerns about unfair Chinese trade practices and IP theft.

MIT economist David Autor calculated that Chinese competition cost the U.S. 2.4 million manufacturing jobs between 1999 and 2011. Clinton administration senior trade negotiators now believe that China's WTO membership only helped big businesses, not US workers. It's well-reported.

A 40 foot sea van container from China to the US West Coast is $4200 - $7,000 at current 2019 rates. It’s a factor. The plastics industry uses a standard 24 percent baseline adder for shipping from China to the US when they are costing out work. And as Chinese wages rise it becomes more...

Afraid so. They are so obsessed with nullifying the election that serious policy is a socialist afterthought.

Well, given the monster case that the EU filed with the WTO against China, Mean Orange Man or not this issue is not going to get resolved with China going about business as usual.

NextEra, the largest wind power Company in the US, is also the most heavily subsidized Company in the Fortune 500. I recall reading an article in the Journal last year that they became the global king of wind power on the backs of outright grants in the form of local, state, and federal...

But I love Chinese food and Asian Chicks... :cool:

And this from The Economist on May 16, 2019: In Washington, talk of a China threat cuts across the political divide Amid accusations of theft and espionage, opinions have hardened against China on both sides of the aisle "LAST OCTOBER bosses from some big, innovative companies were invited...

You would be hard pressed to find a Democrat or Republican on Capital Hill who is OK with Huawei or ZTE 5G equipment being installed in the United States. And now this from the Financial Times: May 15, 2019 Democrats harden their stance on China US presidential contenders face a conundrum...

Another consideration is the massive liquidity stimulus that the Chinese apparatchik has been pumping into their economy since Q4 2018. Look at the March and April 2019 China Retail Sales and GDP numbers. Many complain about the US - but the EU will be quite proactive and protectionist.

If US Companies were afforded the same property rights and protections in China as a Chinese Company presently enjoys in the United States - there wouldn't be an issue IMO. Any Chinese Company doing business in America is afforded the same legal protections and redress in US Courts as an...
