Kuwait Halts crude exports

Hmmmm......I wonder if Goldman Sachs p*ssed in someone's cornflakes over in Kuwait;-)

By Pablo Gorondi, The Associated Press

Oil prices bounced off daily lows to climb toward US$107 a barrel Wednesday on Kuwait 's decision to temporarily suspend crude exports because of sandstorms.

Kuwait , a member of OPEC , produces about 2.4 million barrels of crude a day, so the halt has exacerbated worries about global supply — the conflict in Libya and protests across the Middle East have investors worried that larger producers could suffer production slowdowns.

By early afternoon in Europe, benchmark crude for May delivery was up 63 cents at $106.88 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Earlier in the session, the contract fell as low as $105.37 and gave up $3.67, or 3 per cent, to settle at $106.25 on Tuesday.

Crude fell sharply on Tuesday after Goldman Sachs warned investors that oil prices had already topped its second-quarter forecast and were due for a "substantial pullback" in the near term.
