prolly not this time. I have a friend that is a commodities broker. He tells me that the speculators were behind the price of oil shooting up in the first place. The speculators had a bet on which one of them would break the $100/bbl ceiling. It appears that the speculators have been taken to task for it. The question I have is who's money are they playing with?? All commodities trades have to be paid in cash at the end of each day.
