a1chemist Posted June 5, 2009 #1 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Well, crude oil continues it price rise. On Thursday, 6 4 2009 the high price was $69.60 per barrel, but it settled a little below this price. Weak dollar is influencing the rising price and also expectations for a pick up in the economy. However, basic supplies are still high, so it is speculators and anticipation pushing price upwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what people are saying is that they'd rather have double-digit unemployment and sky-high interest rates to keep oil prices low. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ula Posted June 5, 2009 #13 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I just made a payment on a cruise, it has the fuel charge. I figure it will stay there or we will get an OBC. It is just the cost of cruising. I book factoring that in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Times Prince Posted June 6, 2009 #14 Share Posted June 6, 2009 7. It's summer. Oil companies and suppliers always raise the rates in summer to take advantage of all the people taking vacation. nothing to do with politics, price of the dollar - just corporate greed. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
