Shanghai Composite Index fell by 6.4%, Shenzhen Composite Index fell by 7.12%, Nikkei dropped by 2.3%, Topix went down by 2.3%. And the oil market today are in surplus. Iraq increased oil production in 2015 and plans to increase it further in 2016. Iran, which recently withdrew from sanctions, also plans to increase oil production.

Today, January 27 2016, the Fed will release a decision on the interest rate. In December, the Fed raised interest rates, that showed confidence in the US economy.
