Crude Oil Prices: Bears Will Soon Win Out

<<The US dollar has been weak because of the previous interest rate cuts. But the cuts seem all but over now. The rest of the world will soon need to cut interest rates to catch up with the US. This will lead to a stronger US dollar and weaker crude oil prices in dollar terms.>>

Yes, it is true. But as long as
- US foreign and domestic deficits keep growing
- US Treasury and Fed are printing US$ as if there is no tomorrow

There is no way US$ will stop falling in a long-run.

Commodities: Oil Correction Likely; No Gold Bubble

The US empire is a giant with clay feet is about to collapse.

How long will the rest of world sell to America goods for US peso?

The Oil Shortage, and Other Fairy Tales

In the last few months, the Fed flooded US economy with $800B newly-printed paper money.

In the last 3 years, US$ lost 50% against euro. Consequently, if commodities did not change in euro then their prices had to double in US$.

However, EU central banks are too printing a lot of new euros. Consequently, commodities had to go up in euro too. There are no ways to "print" commodities.

The author unfortunately does not mentioned that US government and US Congress totally irresponsible policies are the real reasons for the disastrous state of US economy and runaway commodities prices.

A Look at the Respective Rallies in Tech, Housing and Oil

The tech bubble was just a pure speculation. There was no real substance under it.

The present housing bubble was a child of excessive greed and a big fraud on a part of the Wall Street and securities rating agencies. The government and the Congress also made a major contribution to the problem.

Now, we come to a commodities "bubble". Well, the Feds and the Treasury are printing money as crazy trying to solve financial and housing problems through inflation. However, the commodities are the real stuff. Their is no way it can be "printed".

Consequently, the is no commodity bubble now yet. The commodities prices just reflect the present inflation adjusted prices. Please note the commodities prices are much more inflated in US$ and than in euros.

Who's Really to Blame for Rising Oil?

Nobody speaks about a free-market system any more. Well, we did not have for a while.

I understand the frustration of all democrats and republicans: they can do nothing about oil prices. They can not create oil, gas, gold, etc., by "printing it" or out of taxing it. The best Congress can do is to create shortages...

In old good time, USA colonized almost all oil producing countries. The USA robed them and were happy calling ourselves a democracy. The rest of the world was poor and did not use much oil. Yes, it was good!

Now, the USA does not control the world oil supply. Russia, Iran, Venezuela are in control of their own oil. On top of it, China, India and the rest of world would like to enjoy good life too.
On top of this, the USA military is not in a position to dictate to the world how they suppose to live their lives and how be nice to America.
Adding these three together and the USA and EU have a problem.

So, get used to the reality!

How Much Worse Can It Get For Oil?

Why will commodities prices go down if the US Treasury and Feds as well as EU central banks are printing money like crazy?

Too bad, nobody in the US Treasury and Feds learned how to print oil, gas, gold, copper, etc.,
