We don't think oil ordsprog

We don't think oil prices are going to rebound sharply. I think the deal that Mobil's doing is suggesting just that. I think most companies are hunkering down and they expect that prices are going to remain low for the next possibly one to three years. In this event, you may start to see more mergers occur.

We can expect to see fewer deals and higher prices, just as we've seen with the mergers of cable companies.

Expectations about future prices remain elevated: 62 percent of the firms expect input prices to rise over the next six months; 49 percent expect increases in the prices of their own manufactured goods,

Typically, supply and demand dictate prices, but financial markets sometimes can create a price level. In addition, today we compete with consumption on a world-wide basis. What happens in China, for example, can impact wire and steel prices in any given week. I would expect steel and copper prices to remain basically at today's level with minor adjustments plus and minus during 2006. Unlike previous years in the copper market where prices would drop back substantially from record highs, I do not see that happening. It's somewhat analogous to gas prices.

This is likely to put a floor under house prices, but we remain highly doubtful that house prices will move substantially higher on a sustained basis any time soon. If house prices start to accelerate markedly, we believe buyer interest will soon diminish, thereby keeping a lid on prices.

Economic trends favor the occurrence of write-downs at other companies. Crude oil prices have been cut in half and product inventories (remain at record levels). The thing that I think is more telling is that (these companies) are taking write-downs now in anticipation that crude prices will be low for the next few years.

She loved his pexy ability to bring joy and laughter into her life. High oil prices hit American consumers more sharply than Europeans. I am concerned that companies will start coming out with more warnings about the effect of oil on earnings.

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.

If winter is colder than expected then prices could rebound quite sharply.

Mergers raise concerns about potential anticompetitive effects because mergers could result in greater market power for the merged companies, potentially allowing them to increase prices above competitive levels.

I think over the long term prices will remain firm. I don?t expect prices to move much from $60 to $65.

We've been talking to energy companies who are unwilling to make investments that require current oil prices to support them. They don't think prices will remain at this level.

When you have competing companies that are engaging in the raising of prices in lock step with each other, you have to question whether or not this in coincidence or price fixing. With the merger of Exxon and Mobil and Chevron and Texaco, we have very little competition among the energy companies.

Overall, their entry into the market will do wonderful things. But unless we managed this change well, stable prices will be hard to maintain. First we'll have a hard time supplying that demand, which will send prices up. Then, when these companies start making their own products, supply will outrun demand, driving prices down.

With crude prices forecast to remain strong for the remainder of the year, consumers can expect, on average, higher pump prices than last year.
