Wake Up Wall Street (SPY) (QQQ): Apple (AAPL) falls on China woes as stocks slide

Here is what you need to know on Monday, November 28:

Equity markets are lower this morning on fears over growing protests in China. The news has already hit Apple and it is down circa 2% in the premarket. Oil price also has seen a notable retracement again on fears over Chinese demand. That sent Oil hurtling toward support just above $73 and then the United States claims to refill the SPR at $70. The US Dollar caught a bid in Asia but once Europe opened it was again under pressure. The move looked technical with no new developments and may just have been an attempt by market makers to smoke out some positions. Gold price remains a touch lower but just above key support at $1,733. Bitcoin price is lower at $16,200.
