Uber's Not A Transportation Company: Fly Charts

(Bloomberg Gadfly) -- Good morning! This is Fly Charts, the daily charts-only newsletter from Gadfly; sign up here. From rare good news in the oil patch to massive money printing, here are four charts that tell you what you need to know in business today.

And don't miss Andrea Felsted on the German discounters coming for Walmart: "Ironically, the fight isn't just about price. While those at the discounters might compare with entry-level groceries at traditional supermarkets, quality is often on par with their mid-tier ranges. And in the U.K., Aldi and Lidl have won over more-affluent customers with their premium products, from lobster to macaroons."

Correction: An earlier version of the "Printing Money" chart said "billion" instead of "trillion."
