Why when the price of crude falls we are beginning to pay higher electricity bills?
Is it because office bureaucrats were not sticking to running their office but indulging in market speculation of oil prices? In a situation they were caught on high future prices and then the spot crashes, the ordinary folks would be pitiful cos they would be the ones paying for their mistakes. Hope my fears unfounded.
wait the black MPV family car send you to Boon Teck Road for coffee FOREVER......<echo> <decres> pple there heeeee.....haaaaa <cres..>

things related to fuel, ie transport, refining, processing etc, prices didn't drop. hence the profit margin is narrower despite the crude price drops. paper posted today.

Oil sheds more than $9 to hit 13-month low to $77.70 a barrel in New York, oil's lowest close since Sept. 10, 2007, when crude ended the day at $77.49.
"tariff hike goes against common sense" going up by 21% ++ for this Q. Oct-Dec 2008. Bad news....Ya. Working on US155 per barrel. on the revision in the electricity tariff, a more common sense idea approach to sell it tariff increases (none option) to all general public and it citizens need to be more elaborated.
I believe some may not afford to pay more for those poorer citizens when those bills reach them this 4th Q (Oct - Dec 2008).
This whole idea about me mentioning above is to bring out our sytsem that working against us, weather we are retail users or those making those implementaion process, Noted: oil movement move so fast, so some form of mechanism has to be put in place to be work out, rather then reliance on old system.
In other word...a lack of initiative from those holding senior post (those who had gone for the meeting to process implemetation on how to work out the new tariff), "tariff hike goes against common sense") as well as those who at that point in time did not do their homework, just business as usual in the meeting (No brain ...in storm braining)..Ya.
Wasted much $$$ in such big organization w/o having a internal talented brain storming secession, with everyone looking to collect their $$$ end of the month.

The meltdown's silver lining - cheap oil
With experts predicting a global economic slowdown, oil prices could fall to $60 a barrel, or lower - with gas prices soon to follow.
By Steve Hargreaves, CNNMoney.com staff writer
October 10, 2008: 1:46 PM ET
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- As the world loses confidence in the foundations of its economic system, the silver lining may be that oil prices are about to get a whole lot cheaper.
In a new report Friday, Deutsche Bank uses a number of interesting yard sticks to suggest crude is currently way too expensive and may fall to the $60 a barrel range as the economy worsens.
And the bank does expect the economy to worsen, painting a bleak picture - caused be the current financial turmoil - but stopping just short of predicting a multi-year recession.
The bank says it expects GDP growth to slow by 1.5% over the next few years - and hints that things could get even worse.
"Indeed if one examines the banking sector crises in Japan and Sweden, economic output declined for at least two years following the crisis," Adam Sieminski, the bank's chief energy economist, wrote in a research note. If the global economy slows to less than 2% growth a year, "oil prices could spiral down, much like they escalated in 2007."
Other analysts see oil prices going through the floor.
"As night follows day, low oil prices have always followed high prices, and the decline has always been swifter than the advance," said Peter Beutel, an oil analyst at Cameron Hanover.
Beutel sees a 2009 low of around $50 or $60 a barrel, then even lower prices in 2010.
"I'm not going to rule out some extraordinarily low numbers, even $20 a barrel," he said, acknowledging that five months ago many respectable analysts though we'd never go below $100. "Whatever the market does, it's going to make us all look like fools."
Deutsche Bank compared oil prices to several other measures, and came to the conclusion that "crude oil is the most richly priced commodity currently."
Compared to crude's historic price average of $35 a barrel, it's currently 100% higher, higher than any other commodity. The next highest is gold, at 56%. Many other metals are only 20 to 30% higher.
And contrary to press reports talking about how expensive food is, adjusted for inflation many food stuffs are actually lower than their long-term historical average price, according to the report.
Relative to per capita income, the bank said oil prices would have to fall to about $45 a barrel to return crude to it's historical average.
In the early 1970s, the average American family could buy about 1,000 barrels of oil on a year's salary. That 1,000 barrels was the norm for most of the last few decades, with the exception of the early 1980s and 2008, when that number dropped to around 300 barrels of oil. Today, oil would have to cost around $45 a barrel for the average family to afford 1000 barrels.
The bank also calculated how high oil prices have to be for OPEC countries to maintain their budgets. Iran and Venezuela, who are often the first to call for production cuts, need the highest price per barrel - $95.
Russia needs about $70, while Saudi Arabia, OPEC's largest producer and de facto ruler, needs about $55 a barrel.
Other measures pointed to a higher price for oil. The bank estimates crude needs to cost $80 a barrel to keep new production coming online, and as a percent of a U.S. consumer's disposable income, current prices are about average.
But taking all these measures together, the bank says $60 a barrel seems like a probable place for oil prices to bottom out.
That would represent a gasoline price of just over $2 a gallon. Good news for motorists burned at paying over $4 a gallon for much of the summer, but bad news if that price drop at the pump also comes with a pink slip from the boss.

Maybe it will go up to $141 again....remember the below prediction from Goldman? Oil price was all propped up by speculators and hedge funds last year. now they have to withdraw positions to shore up their capital. Thats why its going down....$70 plus ..maybe?
16 May 2008 - $141
7 March 2008 -$200
Another drastically wrong prediction! By Goldman Sachs. Oil price is now US$80.29. Do you still trust Analyst ratings?
SGdividends understand that forecasting or prediction is not an exact science as numerous factors come into play. But when calls are drastically wrong, something must be amiss. Stay tune as we investigate into why such things happen? (See other
Analyst gaffes)

Light, sweet crude for November delivery was down 35 cents to $93.62 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange by midafternoon in Singapore. Prices fell overnight $4.56 to settle at $93.97 a barrel, the lowest level since Sept. 16. Personnally do not understand this whole concept of tapping more money from us to cover their (more) profit and also leveling into a very, very wrong idea, wrong timing and wrong move. |

Oil fall to a low of US$88.46 a barrel. from it peak of US$147.27 stuck in July, Fears that the crisis is deeper then tot to... and there by slashing demand generated widespread losses in commodities and energy markets.
