Current Market Trends•Dec. 2007 OPEC --> oil prices high but stable to meet the demand
•They suggested a range of $70-80 a barrel
•Oil producing countries becoming industrialized and using oil domestically
–Could result in less oil for trade and rise in price–Example:
•Mexico and Iran (demand to exceed production in 5 years) •Russia (whose domestic petroleum demand is growing rapidly).

• Rising oil prices affect the consumer price index (CPI) because the energy cost component is increased.
• Rise in oil price raises demand for substitute products• Rising oil prices make transportation costs rise and results in an
overall increase in the cost of living-->Increase in workers wages
• Business decided to pass on their increased costs of production onto the consumer price.
• INFLATION
