Back in 2008 crude oil fundamentals were as much, if not more, of a factor leading to higher oil prices as geopolitical risk. The world was experiencing a global boom phase then. We now know that boom would come to a rather abrupt end.

Australian manufacturing activity contracted for a fifth month in January, though mainly due to a rundown in inventories while output and employment both improved, an industry survey showed on Tuesday.The Australian Industry Group/PriceWaterhouseCoopers performance of manufacturing index (PMI) edged up 0.4 points to 46.7 in January, but remained below the 50 level that marks the threshold between contraction and expansion.The 200 survey respondents complained of the strong Australian dollar, overseas competition and slack domestic demand. There was no obvious evidence that recent floods in Queensland state had impacted the survey.The index was mainly held back by a sharp 11.4 point drop in the sub-index for inventories to a low 38.9. In contrast, the index of production firmed 3.7 points to 50.3, pointing to a slight expansion in the month. The measure of employment also bounced 4.9 points to 49.0. Eight of the 12 manufacturing sectors showed growth in the month, with clothing, textiles and food enjoying big gains. Weakness was mainly concentrated in basic metals and fabricated metals."Poor performance in sectors such as the basic metals and fabricated metals relate in part to the ongoing weakness in the construction sector," said AiG chief executive Heather Ridout.
