Oil pricing wise, Money CNN has commodities pricing chart. Silver also tanked hard along, Gold not so bad, others tanked a bit.
We also have USD being rallied and getting its value bumped back up. Gotta remember that Oil and commodities are also traded in USD.
finance.google.com = good place to look for market stuff anyhow.
http://community.nasdaq.com/News/201...?storyid=74488


Nonetheless, commodities market is purely speculation. Oil prices were driven high due to speculation of emerging markets like China with oil consumption, along with a low valued USD. Tanking of USD usually drives commodities pricing too (uncertainty in currency= people buy gold)
Despite the emerging markets, the reports of US consumption of gas going down because of high gas prices has driven speculation that demand will fall (thus we see the bubble burst). We also need to take note that oil trading is via inventory and reselling them later on at higher prices. Theres oversupply, not enough demand thus again a reason for bubble burst.

"On the demand side, gasoline demand in the U.S. has been on a steady decline since last August, and dropped another 2.2% in the week ended April 29 to 8.94 million barrels a day, according to the U.S. EIA data. On a four-week average, gasoline consumption was 1.9% lower than a year earlier."

http://community.nasdaq.com/News/201...?storyid=74760
this will explain better.

and the 50cent drops:

comex markets are all based on speculation. regardless of what numbers say.

the recent drop in sil. gold and oil could be credited to changes in regulation withing the comex trading (mainly to drive out speculators). but this could change anytime.

now a days prices on comex markets dont reflect real world numbers but more reflect speculations.

If gas is like $1.20 for 91/94 range that'll be good enough for me.

$1.50 is just a rip off...

I do that... but then, it is what it is... a 20 year old car that I don't really care about anymore. It doesn't knock and it still hits 16psi on 87 so why bother paying more. Could care less if the car blew up.

What do you think happened to gas prices when oil was half the price it is now? It's not going under 1$ at the pumps ever and I would venture to say it will continue going up since it's at 102$ per barrel now.

Yup. 1 god damn day of $1.34 and back up to $1.39 SHIT!
I missed out, should've made some time to fill up.

All those blogs hopefully will keep speculating. The US has been consuming less and less gas, hopefully bringing prices down, I don't need it to hit below $1, but paying over $1.50 for 91 right now is stupid, pay to play but still, greedy asshats.

I figure as long as people keep speculating for a drop, and people start to hold out for said speculation drop, it will eventually come if people start holding out. Nobody buys gas=companies dont make money. I know I don't boost very often at all anymore, just to save that extra gas to last 1 more day of DD'ing.

^^ .... if that site is ever correct I might shoot myself.

I go there, check Vancouver for the drop down.


Barrel of Crude Oil = $98... estimated gas price for Tuesday May 10 = $144.9

WTF?!?! Oil dropped $4/barrel since Saturday and prices are still jacking up, fuck that.
