Timber,

Ref below:

"As we know, cost curve shakeouts take longer and go deeper than anyone reckons on. It may only take a few months at $60 to begin to shut shale producers but the knock-on effects to debt markets will cause serious dyspepsia. That is going to cause some kind of junk bond lockup and losses driven back into the banking system. There will be a hit to US growth, the only question is how big? Possibly large if the bond market freeze really gets going. $2 trillion has been pumped into US shale gas in a breathtakingly short span of time"

Are you aware of the percentage of jobs created in the US since the GFC that are directly or indirectly associated with the shale gas industry? ... thought not. I stand by my analysis that this will be deflationary and not what the Western Central Banks are wanting.

Cheers
