future rates will decline.<BR/>principal intact<BR/><BR/>prudent cash wise investors should study this market and take advantage of this downfall<BR/>which is unfortunate for most people but in the long RUN could reap sizeable profits for deep pockets , cash savers, or anyone having squirrel money stuffed in a secure place -

The demand for oil goes down leading to lower prices for oil thus increasing the crack spread and the refineries' profitability.<BR/><BR/>The only explanation for why the price of oil would rise in this situation is that oil producers cut back supply to raise the price of oil and capture some of the refiner's profitability.<BR/><BR/>This is an example of market pricing power on the part of oil producers. Your contention that a lack of refineries makes a barrel of oil inherently more valuable is drivel.diemosnoreply@blogger.com
