[quote="thomas davison"]It is largely (a). Those financial institutions that operate on the Brent forward market regard it as a zero-sum game. Those that bet on the paper oil price going up, meet those that think it is going down and their bets cancel out. In fact, when fast money is moving in there are more of the former than of the latter and the price rises. It is called 'contango'. Since they don't actually need to collect or use the oil and its all paper, the only people actually paying the rising price are the end users. The oil companies are not going to complain as it increases profits, but it has less and less to do with the amount of oil available worldwide, just betting. The actual balance of supply and demand is called 'the fundamentals'. The hot money moving in is called 'market sentiment' The cause of petrol rises is ultimately due to the amount of tax the government puts on, it can take it off if it wants but it knows the population of the UK, its tax slaves will not do anything about it. When you cannot get to work and you cannot pay your mortgage i think people WILL do something about it. If the 9000 people who lost their homes last year got together and went to the houses of parliament i bet the government would do something to their advantage.[/quote] When the Imperial Party comes to power, we must put laws in place to ban speculation, i also think we need global regulations to ban all forms of speculaiton.
