OPEC SEES OIL AT $170 IN COMING MONTHS
| Quote From Source: | Crude oil prices could rise to as high as $170 per barrel in the coming months but are unlikely to hit $200 and should ease towards the end of the year, OPEC President Chakib Khelil said in an interview on Thursday.
"I forecast prices probably between $150-170 during this summer. That will perhaps ease towards the end of the year," he told France 24 television, according to a text of the interview released by the station.
The head of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries, said it had been clearly established that speculation was impacting markets.
"It's not a question, but a certainty. The problem is the extent of that speculation on the market," he said, adding that the effect of the subprime crisis in the United States had affected oil markets.

I also remember the stories about how $80 and $100 would be unlikely without a major supply disruption. We are approaching $140 with no disruption.
