Why Are Saudis Approving Cheaper Oil? By Dan Burrows, MarketWatch Last Update: 5:01 PM ET Oct 4, 2006 NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Falling gas prices should help toy sales this holiday season as consumer have more discretionary income in their wallets, but the fall off in oil prices won't benefit toy makers' bottom lines for at least a few quarters. Toy makers are especially susceptible to oil prices. Their products not only use large amounts of petroleum-derived plastics, but must be shipped by sea or air from far off Asian factories, so any drop in the cost of oil should ease pressure on their margins and boost their profits. cont'd marketwatch.com{D524735F-FA2F-4F63-B10B-0C6BFDE97CDC}
