Supply Boom Upends the Oil Market
Keywords:
Forecasts show global oil output exceeding demand by 630,000 barrels a day for the fourth quarter of 2012. This is partly the result of extra oil supplies coming in from Saudi Arabia to counter the situation with Iran at the same time as oil demand is slowing with the economic slowdown in the U.S., Europe and China. Prices of crude declined to $85.73 a barrel on the Nymex, and $107.85 for Brent crude on the ICE Futures Exchange on Oct. 24, 2012. Goldman Sachs cut the 2013 price forecast for Brent crude to $110 a barrel from $130. Earlier the QE III monetary easing by the U.S. Federal Reserve had rallied oil prices because of a weakening of the dollar.

Oil prices in 2012 expected to be above $100 with higher social spending by Arab countries and threats by Iran
04/19/2011
Forecasts in Dec. 2011 show oil prices remaining above $100 a barrel in 2012. The threat of Iranian retaliation for increased sanctions in the Straits of Hormuz have embedded a $10-$20 premium in oil prices say some experts. Saudia Arabia and other oil states have increased social spending after the democracy protests in the Arab world, and would like to see higher prices to support this spending.

04/11/2012
Higher growth leads to higher demand and higher prices in a pro-cyclical mode. In this pro-cyclical higher prices do not lead to decreased consumption as happened in the 1980's with oil demand coming principally from developed countries in Europe and N. America.

For Oil's Future, Look Backwards
Wall Street Journal 11/10/2010
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
