DYNAMIC MARKET OPPORTUNITIES
Finally liberated from many years of a tyrannical regime, joyous Iraqis took to
the polls to celebrate their newfound freedom to vote in the country's first
free, democratic elections in half a century. But given the level of insurgency
and violence sweeping the country, it also wasn't surprising that many remained
skeptical that the vote would take place on time, never mind the fact that
they'd be such a success. As a result, crude oil prices dropped from just under
US$50 per barrel to around US$47 Monday. This came as the OPEC oil cartel
declared prices will stay high through the spring, as well as saying it's
comfortable with prices remaining at the US$50 level, since it poses little
threat to global economic growth. So it was no surprise to see the group make
no move to adjust its official 27 million barrels per day output quota. This
completes a 180-degree turn from a few months ago when the oil ministers became
increasingly frustrated over oil's relentless march to US$56 per barrel. With
prices having declined and seemingly stabilized (at least in the short-term)
and the Iraq elections concluding successfully, OPEC seems happy for prices to
now remain around US$50. At the same time, the international pressure on them
to raise production has now relented. The cartel also finally abandoned its
redundant US$22-28 per barrel price target, but stopped short of creating a new
level stating that the market is still too volatile. Instead, they will wait
until later this quarter in order to gauge the market. But it looks reasonable
that they'll agree on something from US$35-40.
