Around 350 troops from six countries (US, UK, Bulgaria, Moldova, Romania, and Serbia) are taking part in a military drill entitled 'Platinum Eagle 16.1', which is scheduled to conclude today according to RT. 

The exercise comes less than a week after the US launched its European missile defense system in Romania, much to the ire of Russia.

Traders should be able to admit, when they're wrong.  As we explain in great detail in Splitting Pennies - there's nothing worse than a trader who takes great effort to explain reasons why he was wrong or why it wasn't in fact his fault, it was the market!  (or some such nonsense).  Such severe psychological factors is the reason that many traders opt for algorithm developement.

Then again, the U.S. will do whatever it pleases.

As Sputnik reports, yet another U.S. surveillance plane flew close to the Russian border earlier today, although as of right now it is not clear if it was again intercepted by a Russian flanker.

The fate of oil companies and nations hangs in the balance of oil prices. Russia could go broke. Some think that’s by US design. Saudi Arabia could experience its Arab Spring if oil prices remain too low too long. And OPEC is dead. That’s the biggest news in this new century for oil.
