Is The Price For Oil About To Cash To $10/Barrel?



The Telegraph: Oil could crash to $10 a barrel, warn investment bank bears

Petrol prices could fall back to levels last seen in 2009 as major banks say there is no bottom in sight for the world's lopsided market.

Oil prices have crashed to below $30-a-barrel amid warnings the rout could reach as low as $10 and bring down petrol prices to levels last seen in 2009.

Standard Chartered became the latest major bank to downgrade its oil outlook to $10, joining the likes of Goldman Sachs, RBS and Morgan Stanley in making ultra-bearish calls as prices have collapsed by 15pc this year.

Brent crude has now slipped to a fresh 12-year low of $30.41 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate - the US benchmark - is trading at $29.93 - a level last seen in December 2013. Analysts warned the oil market remains fundmentally out of balance as record over-supply and stagnant demand weighs on traders.

Between low oil prices and Obozo's war on coal, a lot of industries are hurting.

The layoffs will continue until moral improves. Obama will see to it they are replaced with welfare and lower paying jobs.

When that lousy M-Fer was a senator, he talked a good game about clean coal. Since he became President not a peep. It was all talk.

Obama could not solve a difficult math problem to save his life. He has the hardware but he has loaded it with malware.
