The key points:

1. Oil crash coincided with the introduction of economic sanctions against Russia
2. 80% of shale oil production in the US economically unviable at $60 per barrel
3. The impact of the crash in oil is impacting high yield credit markets and the financial markets of major oil exporting countries, like Russia and Nigeria
4. Is this part of a political war to weaken Iran and Russia and their allies?
5. In terms of trading strategies one could speculate that this is a cold war that will lead to hot war, that oil will rebound after bottoming (my personal favorite), or that deflation is happening and that the US dollar and US Treasury bonds will continue to benefit.
