Abstract/Contents: | Disucsses fluctuating gas prices, noting that "as the overall demand for fuel decreased, the supply increased. This low demand and high supply effect should have lowered the price of fuel; however, the cost continued to rise." Presents an interview that aired on "60 Minutes," titled "Did Speculation Fuel Oil Price Swings?" Comments on crude oil trading, stating "for many years, crude oil has been bought and sold on the Commodities Futures Market." Also states that "it was created so that farmers could gauge what their unharvested crops would be worth months in advance, so that factories could lock in the best price for raw materials, and airlines could manage their fuel costs." Suggests that people "stay involved, research and most importantly, listen." |
