Can someone explain the relationship?????

Between the coronavirus and oil & grain markets???


Been racking the hamster wheel in my head to find why the outbreak of a disease affects everything like oil or grain?

Still haven't figured out why arresting a computer executive affected the price of every commodity in Western Canada?


Just explain why they are interconnected...because if there is a link maybe someone could explain why fertilizer and chemical doesn't go down in price as well???

Just a few random questions.

Interesting to see what happens if Pence becomes president.
Stay tuned.
