has soured investors on the prospects for a quick recovery
turning hedge funds the least bullish in five years.
A rapid appreciation of the U.S. dollar may send Brent oil to as low as $20 a barrel, Morgan Stanley said.

has been boosted amid a global stock market rout
worries over the Chinese economy and heightened geopolitical tensions.
