Fears of a shortage within five years propelled long-term oil futures prices to almost $140 a barrel, further stoking inflationary pressures in the global economy.
The spot price of Nymex West Texas Intermediate hit a record $130.30 a barrel on Wednesday. On Tuesday investors had rushed to buy oil futures contracts as far forward as December 2016, pushing their prices as high as $139.50 a barrel, up more than $9.50 on the day.
- THIS IS IDIOCY.
- A BUBBLE.
- AND IT WILL BURST.
- SOONER THAN YOU THINK.
- THE FRENZY WILL STOP.
- WHEN?
- AS SOON AS THE DEMOCRATS ALLOW US TO DRILL FOR OIL IN THE USA.
