CSFB Raises Estimates of Oil, Gas Prices
By Tim Coulter

London, March 10 (Bloomberg) -- Credit Suisse First Boston raised its forecasts for crude oil and natural gas prices, citing the threat of war in the Middle East and declining inventories because of a strike in Venezuela.

The bank expects West Texas Intermediate crude oil prices to average $28.50 a barrel this year, up from its previous forecast of $23. Brent crude should average $26 a barrel, rather than the $22 originally expected, CSFB said in an e-mailed report.

CSFB also raised its forecast for U.S. natural gas prices, to $5 for each 1 million British thermal units, rather than the earlier forecast of $4, the report said.

Brent crude oil today climbed to a 30-month high on traders' rising expectations of a war in Iraq that could disrupt supplies from the Persian Gulf, the world's biggest oil-producing region.
