MODULE 1 _ GATHERING AIID PROCESSING INFORMATION
1. Read the following extract carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
Oil prices stalled in their climb toward US$ 100 a barrel yesterday after a government report
said oil inventories fell less than expected last week while refinery utilization remained flat.
Oil investors largely viewed the report as neutral in that it confirmed a view that oil supplies
are falling, but offered no real surprises. A larger than expected drop would have likely propelled
5 oil prices past $100 a barrel for the first time.
Crude inventories did fall at the closely-watched New York Mercantile Exchange delivery
terminal in Cushing, Oklahoma, but that did not appear to be enough to propel prices sharply
higher.
"We got kind of a mixed reaction," said Phil Flynn, an analyst atAlaron Trading Corp. in
10 Chicago.
Some analysts think oil prices have far outpaced levels that are justified by the underlying
principles of supply and demand. These analysts blame market speculators for pushing crude
prices to record levels, and predict that a correction, or sharp decline, is imminent.
"At some point, the market does actually discount the bullish possibilities," said Tim
15 Evans, an analyst at Citigroup Inc., in New York. "That risk of exhaustion is very present here."
A separate report yesterday by the International Energy Agency (tEA) warning of an oil
supply crunch by 2015 was not enough to send prices higher. The IEA concluded that growing
demand for energy in China and India will boost the world's oil needs by more than 50 per cent
by 2030.
20 Light, sweet crude for December delivery fell by $1.69 to $95.01 a barrel on the Nymex.
Before the report's release, prices rose as high as $98.62, a new record.
December gasoline futures fell by 3.0 cents to $2.405 a gallon on the Nymex, and December
heating oil futures fell2.2 cents to $2.5858 a gallon. December natural gas futures fell 25.6 cents
to $7.607 per 1,000 cubic feet on expectations that inventories rose last week and on forecasts for
2s wailner weather in the Midwest and Northeast.
