The futures market can be fickle and those trading in it are still betting that prices next year will rise from current levels. The prices set for future delivery of a barrel of crude at different points next year average $67 to $68, and for 2008 the range is $69 to $70.

But traders note that the prices contracted for next summer now are about $12 below the delivery prices set only a few weeks ago.


Good article. In general, commodities are very volatile. Price fluctuations can be significant. Personally, I think oil bounces here at $60-61 or at $56, then stabilizes. I am not sure what the consensus is.

Its been my experience that its bad to underestimate a commodity whose price can be moved significantly by one hurricane or one negative geopolitical event; after all, how long can we expect this 'perfect storm' of good news to continue? FWIW.
