Sasol

  • Sasol won't be in buying territory for long!

  • The New Oil Order explained for your trading!
  • The most traded commodity in the world is also the most disappointing commodity in the world. The oil industry has taken off to new heights.

  • A plunging oil price has its benefits, but what about the casualties?
  • Since June last year, the oil price has more than halved. In the face of oversupply and dwindling demand, the price of oil has headed swiftly south. A lower oil price is beneficial to many.
