Chart of the day
från förra fredagen:
The price for a barrel of crude oil has just surged above the $75 level. While oil is currently at 24-year highs, it is still significantly below the inflation-adjusted highs of 1980. It is also interesting to note that most oil price spikes were a result of Middle East crises and often preceded or coincided with a US recession.

dagens:
Due in large part to increased Middle East tensions (i.e. "acts of war") oil surged to a new 24-year high of $76.70 per barrel. While the geopolitical risks associated with the oil supply are difficult to predict, today's chart illustrates that the average monthly price of a barrel of West Texas Intermediate Crude has had a tendency to rise from July to October as more cars hit the road for the summer driving season. Increased risks on the supply side (i.e. supply disruptions) occurring in unison with increased demand make for a volatile mix indeed.
