GlobalSecurity.org updated their oil page on April 17.

Check out the early EIA forecasts. Oil was supposed to be $20 a barrel now.

They've changed their tune. Now, they don't see oil falling below $50 a barrel in the foreseeable future.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')n contrast to most other oil-price-spike episodes, this time the far futures price of oil -- that is, the price for contracts seven years out -- has also risen sharply. This correlation seems to indicate that the present oil price increase is not viewed as a purely temporary shock. It is virtually inevitable that shocks will result in some combination of higher inflation and higher unemployment for a time.


Remember last fall, when oil looked like it was heading for $60 a barrel? The futures contracts were still $25 or $30 a barrel.

No more. I looked at Nymex this morning, and oil is $50 a barrel through 2010.

Now the forecast for 2010 is 15-20 dollars higher, how long before those prices look like a real bargain for long term contracts?
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Alfred Tennyson', 'W')e are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
