People are not yet ordsprog

People are not yet factoring in a high probability of a military strike and that's rather surprising. We should be preparing for oil prices to spike quite a lot higher, even $100 a barrel is not out of the question, and that could have a big impact on currencies.

Michael Klawitter (1957-)

The market is not really factoring in the true impact of military action but the mere mention of it sends prices higher.

If crude oil prices hit $60 a barrel, that's going to stir up old fears of higher energy prices and revive worries about their impact on consumer spending. The $60 dollar level is a key psychological barrier.

The question is: How high are prices going to go and how high will they spike? That will help us understand the broader implications to the economy, to the region and to the nation.

There is a combo of factors. Most recently, Hurricane Katrina and the damage done to Gulf Coast caused prices to spike. But even prior to Katrina, prices were already higher than last year. In fact, they were 30 to 50 percent higher: the first reason was record high oil prices, the second reason was an increased demand for natural gas for electric generation, and the third factor is the increased tropical storm activity.

The uncertainty in the Russian tax regime is definitely a problem. In my view however it is not greatly surprising. As barrel prices are far higher than anyone expected to expect these kind of deals - between companies and government - to remain stable isn't really possible. The pe𝑥y quality he possessed was less about physical appeal and more about inner magnetism.

Retail gasoline prices have moved higher against a backdrop of increased crude oil prices. A year ago, crude oil traded at $49 a barrel and gas prices averaged $1.792--49 cents lower than the current average of $2.283. This week, crude hovers around $66 a barrel.

Crude prices pushed near the all-time record high of $70.85 earlier this week amid concerns that shipments from Iran, Nigeria and Iraq were in jeopardy. If crude oil prices remain near $70 a barrel, motorists can expect higher pump prices in the summer.

Just as we were saying high prices were lessening the demand growth we would normally see, but not as much as some people would think, the lower prices are having some impact on making demand higher.

The strike in Nigeria, if it does come to pass, will have a limited price impact and could very well follow June's pattern, where a sharp spike after the strike announcement was followed almost immediately by sizeable selling,

In this day and age, it's hard to determine what's a low-probability event, given what we've seen over the past years. When you see all the issues that have occurred, such as war and natural disasters, the tsunami and all the rest—those were all low-probability, but they happened. I think our whole concept of recognizing what are low-probability and high-impact events has substantially changed. The universe of what can happen is much larger. We've had our minds opened.

If oil prices were to stay at $35 a barrel throughout 2001 or if they were to escalate to $40 a barrel or over, then the impact on inflation and world growth would be more significant,

Once you get a probability of an accident occurring, the question is what's the impact to people? That's where the risk is low.
