UPDATE 9-Oil drops on reserves release report, storm limits loss | Reuters
NEW YORK, Aug 24 (Reuters) - Oil prices fell on Friday after a report that the International Energy Agency is likely to tap strategic oil reserves as soon as September, dropping its resistance to a U.S.-led plan.
U.S. crude losses were limited because of the threat to Gulf of Mexico production from Tropical Storm Isaac and that potential supply disruption prompted selling of Brent positions and buying of U.S. crude, brokers said.
The IEA, whose chief recently dismissed the need for a release, is now thought to have agreed to the idea, the industry journal Petroleum Economist said, citing unnamed sources.
bakit nga pala hindi na dictated ng "law of supply and demand" ang oil prices? lagi na lang "tension sa middle east". meron bang premium ang pag-escort sa mga oil tankers?
coz supply and demand is no longer the only factor that affects the price of oil
the oil market used to be dominated by oil companies. now it's dominated by financial companies. like Goldman Sachs. oil has been financialized. financial events move the price of oil. like central bank monetary policy. central bank meetings are now more anticipated than OPEC meetings
supply and demand is so ten years ago
Surely may effect sa prices. Venezuela also supplies to the US.

Fatal blast at Venezuela's Amuay refinery At least seven people have been killed and dozens more injured in an explosion at Venezuela's biggest oil refinery, the local governor says.
Stella Lugo said there was no risk of further explosions at the Amuay plant in the north of the country.
Officials earlier said a gas tank had blown up during the night, damaging the plant and nearby buildings.
The Amuay refinery is one of the biggest in the world, producing some 645,000 barrels a day.
Earlier, Energy Minister Rafael Ramirez blamed the explosion on a gas leak.
"It was a significant explosion, there is appreciable damage to infrastructure and houses opposite the refinery," he said.
Analysts say refineries in Venezuela, South America's biggest oil producer, have suffered from a long list of problems including power failures and accidents.
refinery shutdown = less demand for crude
refinery shutdown = less supply of finished products
brent faces selling pressure when it goes above $115
but gets bid up when it falls near $110
so watch $109. it's support. if brent breaks 109 it can fall further
as long as there's no major geopolitical event (like Western military intervention in Syria, Israel attacking Iran) looks like the rally has lost momentum
maganda ito, due to GREED, the new equation is: less demand = refinery shutdown = less supply
alam ba nyong ganito rin ang nangyayari sa electricity ngayon kaya nasa P13+/kWh na? though meron konting twist sa equation: high demand = due to GREED, plant or gas pipeline shutdown = supply from expensive sources (like diesel)
related yung dalawa diba
According to a study, we are paying for electriciry at full market value. Unlike everyone else who's electricity is subsidized by their goverments to some degree.
