OIL prices on the way UP

OIL prices on the way UP

Because OPEC cuts output!
 

Last week the price of a barrel of crude bottomed out at $35.

OPEC was more then a little pissed off and here’s what they did…

They decided they liked the price (when it peaked at $147) so they’re cutting production.

Less supply… price goes up.

They are reducing production by 2.2 million barrels a day.

The story goes, because of so many countries free falling in this recession the demand for oil has decreased and their stuck selling oil cheap. Apparently the $35 a barrel grabbed their attention.

You can see last weeks average price of heating oil here 

Have your say on OPEC turning the spicket down and forcing the price up.
