>> With prices hovering around the Dollars 24 a barrel level, one senior Opec official estimated that there was about Dollars 4 of "speculative froth" in the price. <<

OPEC didn't believe price rise. Majors still don't believe it. Nobody bothers to expand capacity until oil hits $30.

All of this points to a longer than average cycle.

There are plenty of others factors, but they've been discussed to death, but this OPEC news is somewhat new to me. Makes sense, but I hadn't seen any articles on it before.
