Goldman Forecast: Oil to $85 By Year's End
Nearing on $70 now.
rude oil rose to a seven-month high after Goldman Sachs said prices may reach $85 by the end of the year as demand recovers and supplies shrink.
Oil climbed more than 5% after the bank increased its year-end forecast from $65 a barrel and withdrew its prediction that prices will dip prior to a rally.
"As the financial crisis eases, an energy shortage lies ahead," Goldman analysts Jeffrey Currie in London and David Greely in New York wrote in a research report e-mailed today. The bank set a 12-month price target of $90 a barrel, up from $70, and introduced a forecast of $95 for the end of 2010.
So, even if there is a recovery, it's strangled in the crib for want of oxygen.
And Obama and the Democrats will continue blocking any and all expansion of real energy production.
