Oil sets new record, above $135 |
Source CNN Money: Oil prices hit a record above $135 a barrel before falling back slightly in Asia on Thursday, with supply worries, rising global demand and a slumping dollar keeping crude futures on an upward track. With gas and oil prices setting new records nearly every day, many analysts are beginning to wonder what might stop prices from rising. There are technical signals in the futures market, including price differences between near-term and longer-term contracts, that crude may soon fall. But with demand for oil growing in the developing world, and little end in sight to supply problems in producing countries such as Nigeria, few analysts are willing to call an end to crude's rally.
