The Oil Patch

January 22-2016

NASTY NOW — The market is getting really nasty now.  The price of an OPEC barrel was just $23.58 Monday.  That is a drop of 26 percent in just the 10 trading days since the start of 2016.  It is a drop of 78 percent from the average OPEC price that prevailed from 2011 through 2013.  To repeat: 78 percent! And almost all forecasters see the market glut continuing for some ime.  The optimists see some relief late this year.  The pessimists see some relief late next year.
