The drop in prices are more likely due to a drop in demand, as the high price has eventually started to have an impact on demand, combined with several national governments reducing or removing subsidies on petroleum products such as diesel, petrol and LPG. |
That doesn't mean there isn't a bubble occurring. A tremendous amount of wealth is being generated worldwide and it looks for places to generate more money. People are piling onto the oil commodity market. How far it will drop and when I don't know. Who knows where the mob will follow the rumors next.
