Barring any serious supply ordsprog

Barring any serious supply disruption, there is plenty of oil and prices could drop if the weather stays warm. But we have tremendous speculation in the markets driving prices, so there is no way to guarantee they will continue to fall.

I don't think this is a supply and demand issue at all. There is plenty of oil out there. I think the biggest thing going on is there is massive speculation on the markets where hedge funds and other groups are buying oil futures ahead of the traditional run-up in prices to guarantee a return on their investment.

Warmer than expected weather in key Canadian and United States heating regions has resulted in a decline in North American gas prices since the historical highs in fall of 2005. Natural gas market prices respond to supply and demand. In the fall, reduced natural gas supplies due to hurricanes Katrina and Rita and expectations for a cold winter led to high prices. Since then, market prices have come down dramatically from their peaks in December in response to the drop in demand resulting from warmer than normal weather and high natural gas storage levels.

supply and demand price for oil stands at around $27, so $5 to $6 (of the current price) is pure speculation. There is no demand for oil at these prices, buyers are sitting and hoping oil prices will fall, but prices could shoot up if there is a panic. There is real concern heating oil could run out.

The relationship between supply and demand is relatively balanced in California, so normally we should see stable prices.

The trend for higher gas prices is expected to continue for the next several weeks.

Motorists have not seen the end of price increases. Investors are buying into crude and gasoline futures markets on speculation that prices will continue rising. Retail prices still have not caught up with wholesale price increases. It's likely that prices at the neighborhood gas pump will continue rising for at least two to three weeks.

...Almost playing a poker game with crude oil prices, making a series of bets about where prices are going to be going. That speculation is really what is driving prices up.

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.

Oil prices have been exceeding the most bullish forecasts for the past year and a half, and that's not driven by industry fundamentals, but largely by speculation and fears of a potential supply disruption,

It is quite possible people will want to travel more this fall with the unseasonably warm weather we've been having. When oil prices fall, we pay less. Plus, most of the problems at refineries that were damaged during Hurricane Katrina appear to have been resolved.
