[Closed] why does falling oil price cause markets to fall so much?

ed34 · 2016-01-20T16:16:37Z

Anyone explain in a brief and simple way? I'd have though falling oil prices would be good as it would mean cheaper transport / manufacturing considering how much oil is used for. Obviously i have no idea about these things!

I can see why the overall crash in the price of oil would affect the markets but it seams now they are overly sensitive, almost as if they are being played, to the price of oil. The smallest drop in oil and it's panic stations a small rise and all is good.
