Oil Jumps to New Record on Dollar's Fall

Oil Jumps to a New Record Above $103 As the Dollar Declines to a New Low
Against the Euro

NEW YORK (AP) -- The surging price of oil reached another milestone
Monday, jumping to an inflation adjusted record high of $103.95.

The weaker dollar that has propelled oil and other commodities prices
higher sent light, sweet crude for April delivery past $103.76 a barrel
on the New York Mercantile Exchange. That's the level many analysts
consider to be the true record high for oil, after its $38 barrel price
from 1980 is translated into 2008 dollars.

Futures later retreated from that high to settle up 61 cents at $102.45
after Royal Dutch Shell PLC said it would resume oil shipments from
Nigeria that had been disrupted by rebel attacks.

Oil's most recent run into record territory has been driven by the
greenback's slump against other world currencies. Crude futures offer a
hedge against a falling dollar, and oil futures bought and sold in
dollars are more attractive to foreign investors when the dollar is falling.

Gold, copper and wheat are among the other commodities that have rallied
as the dollar has fallen.

"It's coming down to another commodity price rally," said Phil Flynn, an
analyst at Alaron Trading Corp., in Chicago.

The dollar has been weighed down by concerns about the U.S. economy and
the Federal Reserve's interest rate cutting campaign. Lower interest
rates tend to weaken the dollar, which fell Monday to a new low of
$1.5275 against the euro.

The struggling dollar has prompted a wave of speculative buying by oil
investors seeking a safe haven from the ongoing volatility of the stock
market. Such speculation can become self-perpetuating, driving prices
higher and attracting even more speculators.

Many analysts believe oil prices aren't justified by crude's underlying
supply and demand fundamentals, and are due to fall at some point. While
supply disruptions in Nigeria and the prospect of supply cutoffs from
Iraq and Venezuela helped boost oil prices last year, domestic oil
inventories are now rising even as a number of forecasters are cutting
their demand growth predictions due to the slowing economy.

Late in Monday's session Shell said it would resume oil shipments from
two of its Nigerian facilities that had been suspended under a
declaration of force majeure, in which a company says it can't meet
contractual delivery obligations due to events beyond its control, Dow
Jones Newswires reported. It was unclear how much oil the facilities
will pump. The news fed some of the late pullback in oil.

Investors are keeping an eye on OPEC, which meets Wednesday to consider
production levels. Most expect the Organization of Petroleum Exporting
Countries to hold output steady.

"Unless there's a surprise ... I think it's a non-factor at this time,"
said Linda Rafield, senior oil analyst at Platts, the energy research
arm of McGraw-Hill Cos., of OPEC's impact on trading Monday.

As for where oil goes from here, analyst estimates vary widely, with
some predicting an eventual decline to the $65 or $70 range as supplies
continue to grow and demand falls, and others seeing oil rising as high
as $120 as investment capital continues to flow into oil markets from
overseas.

For its part, the Energy Department's Energy Information
Administration's latest prediction is that oil will average $86 a barrel
in 2008, up 19 percent from 2007, when oil averaged $72 a barrel.

Surging oil prices are boosting prices at the pump. The average price of
a gallon of gas stood at $3.165 Monday, according to AAA and the Oil
Price Information Service. That's down 0.1 cent overnight, but up nearly
70 cents from a year ago. The Energy Department expects gas prices to
peak near $3.40 this spring, well above May's record of $3.227, but some
analysts predict prices could rise to nearly $4 a gallon.

Diesel prices, used to transport the vast majority of the nation's
goods, are also surging. Diesel prices hit another new record of $3.674
a gallon Monday.

In other Nymex trading, April heating oil futures rose 3.39 cents to
settle at $2.8408 a gallon, and April gasoline futures rose 0.21 cent to
settle at $2.672 a gallon. April natural gas futures fell 2 cents to
settle at $9.346 per 1,000 cubic feet.

In London, Brent crude futures rose 38 cents to settle at $100.48 a
barrel on the ICE Futures exchange.

Finally heard why folks are voting for Obama. "He stands for change,
he's different, he stands for hope, and he seems presidential"...
That was from the kids in the audience 19-21 yo.. Two others said if
it's not Billary, they will vote for McCain, both had kids in the
service. Still, not one could name any experience Obama had, and this
was a group of 25 democratic voters. I just amazes me how seemingly

Actually we do care, that's why we are so concerned for Obama. He is
up to his ass in illegal realestate deals just like Billary, we hope
Obama does not end up another victim of "Arkansas Suicide". And since
when do the dem leadership care about integerity. This is the party
that put Jefferson in charge of the purse strings for the federal
offices investigating the 90,000 dollars he sold out the country for.
That alone should make more Americans mad, at least those who care
about America more than just power...

Do you and Ralph Nader share the same DNA?

Not all of us have been brainwashed into believing in the various conspiracy
theories that you and your kind delight in perpetuating at every
opportunity. You know, like Cheney having secret meetings with "Big Oil"
and OPEC to keep oil prices high, just to line his pockets, with Bush giving
a wink and nod and all. All presented as fact, although there's absolutely
no proof or even rational logic to support these absurd accusations by any
legitimate economist, Wall Street analyst or even investigative journalist.

It is obvious to the most oblivious observer that your particular crusade is
not really against "righty" politicians. It's against big business and the
management thereof. That's the common thread in your conspiracy theories,
routinely linking a back door "big business" connection to every person,
event or issue that you object to.

This is not surprising, since you've buttered your bread for years pimping
as a labor organizer who, by default, must assume an anti-business,
anti-management philosophy to be noticed and have any success. Like Ralph
Nader, it has now become a *way* of thinking for you, interpreting all
inputs with filters in place. Too bad, because there *is* plenty of "good"
to be enjoyed and be thankful for with opportunities for those willing to
work and take advantage of them.

It's not us wallowing in our own misery. People with your mindset create
their own misery index. It amazes me how much you enjoy it.

My fantasies about what? Last time I looked at the surveys, about 70% of
Americans were not pleased with the direction in which Bush has taken this
country. That leaves only the hard-core Republican base who is pleased.

The fantasy is that the Republicans in this newsgroup, who make up a
majority of posters in this newsgroup, think everything is "A-O.K."

I have and have had no interest in persuading them otherwise. My only
political interest here is in sticking pins in the fantasy bubble.

Blah blah blah. Do us a favor and disappear.

I would give 10 to 1 odds that Harry is not involved in assisting any

As usual, very well put. After reading this group for many years I
reached the conclusion a couple of years ago that Harry's attitude
presented here is just a Usenet persona. No one could possibly be that
miserable in face to face conversations.


Unfortunately, it probably is not simply a Usenet persona. It's a way of
making a living. I suspect Harry has a portrait of Ralph Nader hanging
over the fireplace mantle.

I would give 10 to 1 odds that Harry is not involved in assisting any
political candidate. One who is in the political consultant business
would never make some of the post Harry has made in rec.boats. Comments
such as "I wish you would commit suicide", would be suicide for any one
who hired such a consultant.

I'd be surprised if you got any takers that bet. I haven't heard any
politician ever speak the Harry tongue, thank god. His mouth is so foul that
I wouldn't clean a cat litter box with it.

Not bloody likely. I've never liked Nader.

That's right: Cheney did NOT hold secret meetings with the oil industry to
set national energy policies, right? And the Bush Admini did not fight
tooth and nail to keep those meetings secret, right?

You forgot to leave the reason. *Cheney and Bush are lining their pockets.

Oh, oh, my turn... um, lemme' see. I got it! Bush and Cheney are
seceretly getting millions of gallons of oil from Iraq and selling it
real cheap to all their friends, turning a quick buck which of course
is the only reason the Bush family is in politics.. How's that?

I tend to agree but I hope to find out for myself later this summer.
Unfortunately, I will not be able to report as I believe in the "Las

list convs. we have had, I tend to think you are correct, at least I
hope so..
