Euro's making a break for 1.60.
A break-out above that and $120 oil here we come.

Meanwhile USDX has broken down from its consolidation pattern at 72 on its way to 70. Look out below!

Oscar was an unlucky sap. Having just spent megabucks on a skydiving
class, he dove out of the airplane and pulled the ripcord. The chute
emerged, tangled, and he cut it free. He then pulled the cord on the
reserve chute, and it also was tangled. He prayed to his God and looked
down to the ground below. To his amazement, a woman was coming up with
equal velocity. "Hey, you know anything about parachutes?" he shouted
to her, as they passed by. The reply: "No... you know anything about
Coleman stoves?"

That translates to only a 0.1% monthly increase, according to the FED. No worries. [smilie=5propeller.gif]

Since the Fed is rich enough to bale out the starving hedge fund managers, who only made ten digit incomes last year, I doubt they think paying twice as much for gas is really that big of a deal. We can just create an option on options, and call it the Abyss. If we work hard we can inflate that puppy to about 500 quadrillion dollars in a few years and everyone who owns that paper will look like a trillionaire, on paper that is.

Barchart.com showing the new record now at $115.21.

Upstream Online has the Tapis spot price at a breathtaking $122.38.

Makes your head spin, doesn't it?

Oil, in March 2004, at the time that PeakOil.com went live, was trading at a few dollars more than $30/barrel. The price at the end of March '04 was $33.48, to be more exact.

At this rate, it won't be long before oil is $100 higher than what people were growing concerned about even back then.

At several times during the past several years, when oil has shot up in price, there have been jitters in the market about a US attack on Iran. Remember, last time, when the teeth seemed to fall out of Bush's Iran ranting, the price of oil fell back?

I've always been one to bet against any US aggression against Iran and it seems just as stupid a thing to contemplate as it ever has. But I can't help but observe that the same nervousness is re-appearing just as the price of oil is increasing once again.

I respect markets for being able to react to news that has not been reported in the press. Often, you can tell some news is about to break by how markets are moving (more often, vice-versa, of course). I wonder if Attack On Iran speculation has anything to do with this latest run-up?

I doubt it. It's rather unlikely that the US will attack Iran. They are already overstretched in their current wars. They will have to retreat from Iraq. They are not in a position to start a new war.

It touched $116.19 about 20 minutes ago. That's how long it took this page to load. This site sure gets slow when the oil price is going up. Funny how that happens!
