Have no idea, but hopefully to $80-90$. The oil price is the one thing that will immediately take pressure off the world inflationary pressures. It can sill go back above $135. Wait and see.

$120..Big support there. from there should move up to test resistance at $135.But with U.S rate decision, dollar will strenghten and oil may just tumble.

There are 2 known facts. Scenario 1: World (spot) demand now exceeding world supply, I agree. Scenario 2: The volume of oil futures traded increased 10-fold in 3 months; there is no chance in hell that China/India increased cars/consumption 10-fold, so presently every storage tank and oil tanker on the ocean is full, for delivery in September or whenever. The refineries can only process so much. Everybody owns oil futures and has to sell some or other time to a processing facility. Soros suggested its a bubble, I think he may be right and in September we may see oil at $80/bbl and Sasol way down. OMO.

Pam, I hope you are right. Inflation should then come down and with it interest rates. There just may be presents this Christmas after all, IF that scenario plays out.
