oil is 93USD today. From a high of 100. That's already factoring in the tensions in Nigeria and Iran.
The bettors in the futures market are concerned the US slowdown will lower demand.
China is indeed a huge consumer of oil. But if the US imports less China products come reccession time, the Chinese economy will also slow down a bit... consuming less oil.
Same with Japan. the US is Japan's biggest export market. There's talk Japan also will go into recession.
Put together the US, China, Japan using a bit less oil, that's good news for us.
Pero syempre, there are 2 sides to every bet. There are speculators waiting for any bad news that will affect oil supply (disruption from geopolitical tensions, natural disaster etc) to bid up the price of oil to $150 or even $200.Last edited by uls; January 15th, 2008 at 10:47 AM.

January 15th, 2008 03:12 PM #18hahaha po. kung kumpanya kaya na baon sa utang at kumokonti ang kumukuha ng produkto. diba palubog na ang kumpanyang iyon? marami pong kaharian na umangat at bumagsak. at ang akala ng mga tao na di sila babagsak. mahirap bang isipin na pati ang Amerika maaring bumagsak. kahit pakonti-konti lang?

Most of the american I asked, ito ang opinion kay Clinton: She one tough woman, but she can not be trusted.
Si Obama naman, double standard.
McCain is a good choice daw....conservative, but too old.
Ang galing ng campaign ni Bill Clinton noon...."it's the economy...stupi(d)".
Lately....puro war and war and war...>

Di po babagsak ang US.
As long as the USD is the currency of world trade, the US will remain the world superpower.
Kahit ano pa gastos at utang ang gawin ng US, babalik at babalik ang USD sa US.
the US buys consumer goods, oil etc from many countries and pays those countries in USD.
Those countries end up with a lot of USD. What do they do with all that money?
They buy US assets.
Who buys US T-bills? China, Japan, Middle East countries
Who buys equity in US companies? The sovereign funds of Middle East countries, China, Singapore
The USD always ends up back in the US.Last edited by uls; January 15th, 2008 at 04:25 PM.
