Influencing Factors
Energy prices can be extremely volatile due to the fact that energy is possibly the most tactical and political product in world. According to a survey, it is said that employment plays a crucial role in demand and supply. When people are employed there is a high demand for oil product and vice versa. With oil's stature as a high-demand global commodity comes the possibility that major fluctuations in price can have a significant economic impact. Unlike most products, oil prices are not determined entirely by supply, demand and market sentiment toward the physical product. Rather, supply, demand and sentiment toward oil futures contracts, which are traded heavily by speculators, play a dominant role in price determination.
Cyclical trends in the commodities market may also play a role. Regardless of how the price is ultimately determined, based on it's use in fuels and countless consumer goods, it appears that oil will continue to be in high demand for the foreseeable future.
