We are seeing 7% growth year-over-year, passenger traffic growth around the globe continues to outpace GDP growth, and as we connect the world, we are seeing more and more new passengers entering the traveling public. Just for instance, every year 100 million people travel for the first time by airplane in Asia alone.” BA stock gained 99¢.

Oil eased slightly as Chinese crude imports fell to a one-year low, but losses were partly offset by investor caution over rising political tensions in the Middle East. Traders said they were closely watching escalating tensions in the Middle East, especially between regional rivals Saudi Arabia & Iran. Brent futures were at $63.49 a barrel, down 20¢, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures eased 13¢ to $57.07 Brent a barrel. Brent crude hit $64.65 earlier this week, its highest since mid-2015, as political tensions in the Middle East escalated after a sweeping anti-corruption purge in top crude exporter Saudi Arabia, which in turn has confronted Iran over the conflict in Yemen. China's Oct oil imports fell to just 7.3M barrels per day from a near record-high of about 9M bpd in Sep, the lowest level since Oct 2016 (though imports were up 7.8% from a year ago). For next year, however, independent refiners are likely to boost their imports again as authorities just raised the 2018 crude oil import quota by 55% over 2017 to 2.85M bpd. Oil price has gained around 14% in the last month alone, propelled largely by evidence that OPEC's efforts, together with those of its partners to curtail output, is helping erode a global overhang of unused crude. The OPEC 2017 World Oil Outlook showed the group predicts demand for its crude will rise more slowly than previously expected in the next 2 years, as higher prices from its supply policy stimulate output growth from rival producers.
Oil steadies as Middle East tensions offset concern over China demand
On the one year anniversary of the election, the Dow is up an astounding 5.2K, the best recovery since the depression. For the last week, the Dow has been resting, taking in the debate on tax reform & Trump's trip to Asia. Economic conditions around the world are fairly good, although dark clouds have not gone away (such as North Korea, tax reform & now the Mideast). Gold saw more buying today from negative thinkers about the stock market.
