Money Morning Insight of the Day

Oil prices remain under pressure thanks to renewed fears that OPEC and Russia are about to bring production levels into overdrive. That could have a serious impact on 99.9% of the global population at a time when oil is flirting with a four-year high.

Money Morning Technical Trading Strategist D.R. Barton, Jr., appeared on FOX Business Network's "Varney & Co." yesterday to explain the reason behind oil's precipitous drop... and why he doesn't expect it to recover any time soon. Here's what you need to know.
