The prices for oil have again lowered on a level $73 for barrel.

July 26th, 2006

The prices for oil</a> futures on July, 25th have noticeably decreased. If in the morning price showing exceeded a mark $75 for barrel, to evening the prices under transactions have again returned on a level $73 for barrel. Results of the trades at stock exchanges contracts of the nearest month of delivery on July, 25th have made:
- in New York on New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) the official price of future Light, Sweet Crude Oil (September) has fallen to 1 dollars of 30 cents (-1,7 %) and was established on a mark $73.75 for barrel (the lowest price of closing for a week) at the prices under transactions for session $73.55-75.78 for barrel;
- in London on InterContinental Exchange Futures (ICE Futures) the official price of future IPE e-Brent Crude Futures Electronic (September) has fallen off on 1 dollars 33 cents (-1,8 %) and was established on a mark $73.28 for barrel (the lowest official parameter more than for two weeks) at the prices under transactions for session $73.10-75.41 for barrel.
High Volatility under transactions at the trades on July, 25th it has been caused by expected development of a situation in the Near East. On the one hand, continuation of a confrontation and threat of its distribution on the countries next to Lebanon pushed oil quotations upwards. On the other hand, across the Near East and firm intentions of the Arabian countries to accept drastic measures for cease-fire in Lebanon formed international meeting forthcoming on July, 26th in Rome in the market of that expectation that the conflict in region joint efforts will manage to be extinguished. The prices for oil have gone down after the state the Secretary of State of the USA Condoleezza Rice has suggested entering into Lebanon the international forces.
Futures for gasoline and residual oil on NYMEX on July, 25th have gone down within the limits of 1.5 %. During first half of day the steady rise in prices on gasoline and residual oil was observed, that technically supported growth of oil quotations. The prices for petroleum products grew because of expectations of reduction of their deliveries to a home market of the USA. We shall remind that in connection with a stop of manufacture on several oil refineries in the USA oil refining in the country has decreased approximately on 500 thousand barrel per day. The rise in prices on gasoline also was promoted by expectations of falling since August on the following of 5-7 months of its import Venezuela - the country which is the main external supplier of gasoline in the USA. Deliveries of gasoline from Venezuela since August can essentially be reduced in connection with carrying out after a fire of repair work on the world’s largest oil refining complex Amuay-Cordon (throughput - the order 940 thousand barrel per day). At the same time the rise in prices on petroleum products, first of all gasoline, on July, 25th has been complicated in connection with the high prices of the retail market. We shall remind, that retail prices for gasoline in the USA have already exceeded a mark of $3 for gallon and now concede to the absolute record very little.
The high prices for gasoline, participants of the market consider, can become the reason of decrease in consumption of automobile fuel.
Decrease in the end of day of petrol quotations also was promoted by expectations of the publication of the weekly report of the Ministry of power of the USA forthcoming on July, 26th about a condition in the country of stocks of crude oil and petroleum products.

The prices for oil have continued falling…

July 19th, 2006

Every day not only investors discuss the changes in prices of oil, that’s why I think this peace of news is noteworthy.
So, the prices for oil</a> futures on July, 18th have continued falling. It was the second from the beginning of week falling of the prices for oil. And it was approximately same essential, as well as on the eve. Once again the prices have fallen more than to 2 %, but this time they have already left a mark $75 for barrel.
The official prices for oil were established on July, 18th on the marks as much as possible close to the lowest prices under transactions. Thus the price of oil Brent has remained a little above $74 for barrel, while the price of oil WTI (Light Sweet) was established below this level. Results of the trades at stock exchanges contracts of the nearest month of delivery have made:
- in New York on New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) the official price of future Light, Sweet Crude Oil (August) has fallen off on 1 dollars and 76 cents (-2.3 %) and was established on a mark $73.54 for barrel. (The lowest price of closing more than for two weeks) at the prices under transactions for session $73.50-76.50 for barrel;
- in London on InterContinental Exchange Futures (ICE Futures) the official price of future IPE e-Brent Crude Futures Electronic (September) has fallen to 1 dollars and 56 cents      (-2.1 %) and was established on a mark $74.36 for (the lowest price of closing for a week) at the prices under transactions for session $74.30-77.29 for barrel.
But why have prices began to fall? For first two days of this week oil has fallen in price more than on 4 %. Development of a situation in the oil market was once again defined with atmosphere in the Near East. Participants of the conflict have continued on July, 18th an exchange of rocket and artillery impacts. And the Air Forces of Israel have made a strike on military base in Lebanon that for a while promoted a rise in prices on oil futures.
Nevertheless, by the end of day the price for oil have gone down under pressure of confidence (that have became stronger) of market participants that the conflict will not extend to Syria and Iran. Decrease in interest to purchases of oil futures was promoted by the announcement of the Secretary of State of the USA Condoleezza Rice that the arrangement on cease-fire in Lebanon will be soon reached. Reduction of prices on oil products on July, 18th also has proceeded.
Additional technical pressure upon the oil market has rendered on July, 18th essential falling of the prices for gold. So, despite of preservation in the world of geopolitical instability, gold this day has fallen in the price for 3.4 %. Oil and gold already for a long time bargain in pair, is persistent following one after another. Simultaneous falling of the prices for oil and on gold testified that large investors gradually deduce their actives from the market of commodity futures, considering that fact that the US dollar has grown for a week concerning euro more than on 2 %.
