    Oil prices are affected by several factors related to supply and demand. On the supply side, diminishing reserves due to peak oil, political unrest in producer countries, and natural disasters may disrupt supply. Growing demand, especially in developing economies experiencing increased economic activity and population growth, also puts pressure on prices. However, new oil finds and development of alternative energy sources could increase supply and stabilize prices in the future. Government policies around climate change and speculation in oil markets will also impact future price volatility.
