The first trading session of 2015 is upon us. A new year provides the opportunity, or to be more precise, an excuse to start anew. The two constants from 2014 are starting off 2015 the same way. Crude oil is plunging to new 6+ year lows, and the US dollar is hitting fresh 9+ year highs.
Stock futures are higher to start 2015. Prices have yet to get back to the highs we saw the last day of 2014, before we had a nasty late day sell-off.
