This year is definitely a little different than past 5 election years.  Though, Saudi Arabia said something recently that made me think.  As most of us might know, due to long standing contract and agreement OPEC sells oil in USD only, which is a (if not the) main reason the dollar is the world reserve currency. 

Saudi Arabia said they wanted to crush non-OPEC competition.

Now clearly they can afford to do so (whats a few billion, pfft), and in the long run it's a benefit to them; but I suspect a major reason is for the US's survival as well.  Cause if we lose WRC status- a LOT of money comes home to roost.  And that's not good for anyone.  This is of course very simplistic, and also just a guess. 

In the short term I am happy its this low and hope it stays this low (and maybe lower) for years to come.  #PipeDream.
