24: Hydrocarbons Daily Record Monday, 16 June 2008 - Falklands (Mineral Resources) - 17.06.2008

Two factors helped to decrease the price of crude today. One was the decrease in the price at which Kuwait and Iran will export their oil. Some articles say it could be about 50Cents per barrel. Another factor is the rumoured increase of production that could come out or the energy summit due to take place in Saudi Arabia on 22 June. Adding to the price fluctuations of crude recently is the strength and/or weakness of the US Dollar. Crude is traded in US Dollars and investors add dollars and cents per barrel of crude depending on the US Dollar’s weakness.

This time the panic buying has been caused by geopolitics, with fears that Israel might bomb a nuclear facility in Iran.

36: Hydrocarbons Daily Record Thursday, 05 June 2008 - Falklands (Mineral Resources) - 06.06.2008

Everything but the kitchen sink has been used as an excuse for crude price increases today.

71: Hydrocarbons Daily Record Sunday 11 May 2008 - Falklands (Mineral Resources) - 12.05.2008

As long as the futures remain a hot commodity the price of crude will go up. People with money need a safe place to put it and these futures are not only safe but give a good return. This isn’t good if the majority of the world’s population cannot afford hydrocarbons products.

72: Hydrocarbons Daily Record Thursday, 08 May 2008 - Falklands (Mineral Resources) - 09.05.2008

91: Hydrocarbons Daily Record Thursday, 24 April 2008 - Falklands (Mineral Resources) - 25.04.2008

One would think that decreasing the price of crude is as simple as increasing supply but the price per barrel of crude is down to Wall Street and where people put their money.

92: Hydrocarbons Daily Record Wednesday, 23 April 2008 - Falklands (Mineral Resources) - 24.04.2008

As crude prices become increasingly extortionate – even criminal, it is important to remember that once crude stockpiles bought in at lower prices are depleted and prices for hydrocarbons products increase significantly, demand will go sharply down because people won’t be able to afford filling up their tanks.

93: Falklands Public Meeting Report Part 2 - Falklands (Business News) - 24.04.2008
