Risk appetite slips as crude tumbles: An ugly session for WTI and Brent crude oil futures overnight with both registering declines in excess of 5%. Front-month WTI futures fell to as low as $49.77 with Brent faring even worse, declining over 6% to a low of $52.66. Both are now trading at the lowest level seen since mid-2009 with losses since mid-June last year sitting at 54%. In line with the move in crude the S&P 500 energy sector slid by 4%, something to keep in mind given the energy sector led index gains in Australia yesterday. (VIEW LINK)
