U.S. unemployment rate at 4.30%
The current unemployment rate of 4.30% is below the 2007 low of 4.40%. Theoretically, there should be wage inflation at this “low” unemployment rate. But the year over year wage increase is a relatively benign 2.5%. Why would the Fed be in a rush to raise rates?

Intermediate downtrend for West Texas Intermediate
West Texas Intermediate is testing major support in the $42 to $43 price zone. There is a high probability this support zone will not hold which would put a test of the $40 price zone in play. If you need another negative, the 50-day moving average has crossed below the 200-day moving average: the old death cross.
Reference my last chart analysis for WTI posted on May 4, 2017.
