The price of oil has risen briefly on fears of heightened tension in the Middle East following Israel's offensive in the Gaza Strip.

He probably has

It's a factual information thread ..... I assume that 'most' readers can make their own minds up about its content.

UB - you do have the ability to ignore things on the bbs that irritate you. These threads are within T&C. If you continue to react such as you have done, then you will be the one that will have problems.

Use the IGNORE function if you don't like it. And as for misinformation, what is wrong with the thread? Oil has gone up, it is on middle east fears.

Which part is factual?
I see no evidence that this is related to what is happening in Gaza, oil prices haven't risen 25% in a few days and you are speculating on whether it is the end of cheap petrol.

Oil started to rise when the bombing started. I posted about a 16% increase in a barrel of oil on here a few days ago.

The rises are more to do with OPEC cutbacks.

Really?



BBC NEWS | Business | Oil price rises on Gaza conflict

Or Reuters

(Reuters) - Oil prices jumped 4 percent Friday amid rising tensions in the Middle East and a dispute between Russia

Or The Times;

Growing international tensions sparked by the Israeli ground attack in the Gaza strip drove up the oil price and oil stocks yesterday helping the FTSE 100 continue its new year rally.

Anyway, it's up. I'm far more interested to see how quickly the pump price goes up.

"With Israeli troops going into Gaza, that just heightens fears of the possibility of a wider Middle East conflict," said Ken Hasegawa, an energy analyst with broker Newedge in Tokyo. "Prices will likely continue to rise in the short term."
In Vienna, however, JBC Energy said that to all appearances the conflict "has not had much of an impact so far."
