"There's been a $5 or $6 premium that's been built into the price of oil over this," said Phil Flynn, vice president and energy analyst at Alaron Trading. "Even though this crisis has ended, the oil market is still on guard that the tensions in the Middle East are going to continue." Oil prices spiked this morning when Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad appeared on television, because of uncertainty over what he was going to announce. When he started awarding medals to the troops who had captured the Britons, traders assumed the worst. But by the end of Ahmadinejad's television appearance it was apparent that the soldiers were heading home, and the price of a barrel of oil started to retreat from recent highs, giving up more than $1 to drop to about $64.

I read the spike was because of refineries cutting production to up the price. If Iran offers them a convenient scape goat to blame higher prices on, why not capitalize on it? Sounds cynical, but I have less reason to trust big-oil's motives than Iran's. Over the side and damn the barracuda |

Just wait until the profiteers decide to do their summer spike. $4.00? Why stop there? $5.00 does not seem out of the realm of possibility. Let's put the GLP effect to test. I say we Will the price down to $.98 like the "old days". |
