Japan logs first trade deficit in four months in May

I follow the crude oil and gas markets daily, there has been no large rise in oil or gas recently. I know that the futures contracts are 6 months out, but still, it seems somebody is making a killing in the energy market! And we the consumer as usual are suffering.

A select few are making a killing in foodstuffs, the banks are making a killing with depositors

money and paying no interest, the manpower companies are making a killing with wages

and paying out slave wages that is what society sorry capitalism has all come down to.

Japanese economy at the mercy of the exchange rate and the oil price.
