Comment to  Wall Street Journal Market Beat   Blog Aug 21, 2008  2008 12:26AM ; oil  above 120 means trouble

Based on my 30 years demand side oil price simulation , oil price is very much depend on global consumer, business seasonal demand on gasoline fuel and downstream 5000 products ,oil price plunge to 112 is extremely oversold before labor day holiday travel peak, giving US current  recession while global travel and housing, auto demand still at their peak.
therefore, oil price will definitely rebound to 130 before labor day on gasoline inventory reduction. It will be traded side way between 60- 90 in Sept- Nov. off peak season demand. and rebound to 70- 80in winter demand and US economic entering recession. details on www.osawh.coom/Globaloiln.htm   www.osawh.com/oilpetpri.htm  www.osawh.coom/commody.html

Comment by Warren Huang Wall Street Journal Market Beat- June 19, 2008 at 2:51 pm

From my tracking , proactive structural simulation last 30 year US/global housing price bubbles fundamental mechanism are driven by demand side housing, equities, wealth and monetary, policy. Housing price slump is due to soaring prices beyond affordability and investment incentive in poor underlying fundamental, ( soaring job cuts, unsold inventory, plunging consumer confidence). current housing price have to plunge t ( down 50 %) to more attractive affordable, as it did in all housing bubble burst, Even rate cuts, stimulus package will not change the fundamental supply demand market forces.
Also my 30 years demand side oil price and global currency price mechanism research indicates, any rate cuts, t stimulate consumer, business demand will make dollar less
attractive due to interest spread, it will drive up demand for oil, commodities, and led to higher inflation, the dollar will then goes up, as Fed stop rate cuts, swing to rate hikes to fight inflation to cut demand, will drive oil price down, This process take a few month to react. Recent speculation on China raise fuel oil price 18 % to cut China demand, drag oil price down is misleading, we are faing oil price profit taking, not respond to China fuel price raise ( I told many times on China oil market conference to global multinational COE in Beijin since 2005.
Do not blame OPEC for oil price manipulating, soaring oil price are resulted from market speculators use continued global demand, weak dollar to excessive valuation.
and downstream refinery tight capacity as lectures many OPEC petroleum ministers and multinational oil CEO.

According to my tracking last 20 years daily Euro, Yen and oil price movement, oil price is more snesitive to euro lately, due to EURO ECB more aggressive fighting soaring 3.2 % inflation, while Japan inflation stay relative flat at 1.5 %, no immediate threat and interest rate relative constant at 1.5 %
Todya EURO rebound from 1.54 to 1.556 push oil price higher, Oil will follow EURO move to 1.575 retest 139.

Comment by Warren Huang -Wall Street Journal Market Beat June 6, 2008 at 3:21 pm

No one can manipulate any global commodity price, they are determined by market supply , demand price mechanism.
I pioneered this price mechanism on US Oil & Gas Journal 1983, predicted last 30 years daily oil, energu, commodities price and during energy crisis.
I predicted to hundreds top global multinational oil CEO, VP on China Oil, Gas market conference, Beijing, Feb, Nov. 2005 that oil price soared from 50 to 80, when every one predicted oil price slump.
and again last Sept on the blog that Fed rate cuts will drag dollar lower, push oil price to 110 while  Benanke and economist predicted oil price slump in recession. I predicted to 150 investment bank CEO, fund managers on China fund world conference March 5, 2008, Pudong, Shanghai and on this blog early this year that economic stimulus will push oil price to 135 , gold price to 1000 in this summer peak demand, and warn bear market trap on market analyst to rally stock price. It is obvious, market traders, investment banker, are not manipulate the oil, they use central banks rate cuts, and tax rebates, dollar weakness to speculate the oil price bubble on oil price slump
Dow Jones soared 220 point yesterday on oil price slump and jobless claim and plunged 230 point on oil price spike and unemployment data ignoring my warning on this blog that FEd rate cuts, stimulus package will not stop housing price slump, mortgage, credit crisis, , mounting job cuts drag economic into recession, US and global stock market bear market correction, Dow must test 11000- 12000, banking, finance, retail, stocks plunge 50- 70 %, it will give up all its recent gain in bottom fishing rebound .

Comment by Warren Huang -Wall Street Journal Market Beat May 22, 2008   1:46pm  on Oil, Commodity Bubble?

Based on my 30 years research and implementation of proactive structural demand side oil, commodities prices bubble burst mechanism simulation, the causes, onset and early warning of oil, commodities prices bubble are very similar to all other assets ( housing, equities )prices bubble. They all generated by global central banks excessive money supply, tax cuts led to 5 years global ( not just China and India) economic expansion resulted excessive consumer, business demand for oil downstream housing, auto, metal, commodities, and food. You must recall that 1980, 1990, 2000 economic boom and bust recession resulted oil, commodities bubble burst with price plunge 50- 70 % . It will repeat again this time if US recession spread to global recession. you can not use equities price P/E ratio ( even the ratio does not work for current banking finance stock price plunged with PE ratio )approach to pricing oil, oil, commodities, It is meaning less for income, earning for oil, commodities price. You should have global demand ( which are function of central bank money supply and interest rates) and dollar exchange rate.
SO it is clearly now why oil , commodities price bubbles follow housing bubble soared 400 % during the last 5 year.

From my proactive structural demand side simulation of the causes, onset, spread, recovery, and early warning of all asset prices bubbles ( oil, commodities, stocks, gold, housing), they share the same irrational behavior. Current asset bubble are created by 5 year global expansion resulted excessive
demand( from US, Asia, to E. and west European, S. American, every one get richer, spend more on housing, travel, auto,food..) do not blame China, India for excuse).
My demand side price mechanism forecast all these bubble years ahead of the the bubble formation to burst. They all from central banks excessive rate cuts, resulted consumer, business demand generated stocks, housing , commodities investment wealth gain, and dollar exchange rates ),Do not speculate oil price5 years from now, We have plenty underground, there is no shortage for 50 years, Oil prices like housing, other asset price bubble will burst after current US summer economic package is over, entering recession, China and India, Asian, and European all facing housing bubble burst, entering recession. Just recall, How NASDAQ shooting from 1000 to 5100,
investor though Hi tech keep going up, Greenspan said high tech increase productivity, avoded inflation, finally he had to raise rate drag Nasdaq plunge,
A year ago, No body thinks housing price will drop, that is why we have subprime problem. So is oil price bubble,
Do not help the speculators make all excuse toe push oil price up.
I predicted 2005 in China that oil price went from 50 to 80 due to global housing market overheating .and predicted again last Sept on this blog that rate cuts will drag dollar lower, drive oil to 115, and early this year warned ,economic package will drive oil to 135. in peak US summer demand. Today oil price peaking out at 135 just before the labor day peak demand. details on www.osawh.com/Globaloiln.htm www.osawh.com/commody.html

From my 30 years tracking forecast demand side impact on oil prices, current economic stimulus package and weak dollar, and talk on second half economic recovery are responsible for speculative buy to push oil price to record level, It is not the supply increase crude oil production to cool the oil price.
The trouble is on tight refinery production capacity bottleneck and downstream demand from global housing and travel.   I predicted on this blog early this year, oil will go to 115- 130,
we may see occasional overshooting to 135 in holiday peak demand.

CComment by Warren Huang -Wall Street Journal Market Beat May17, 2008  1202pm 

From my 30 years tracking demand side oil prices and oil stock price, the reason why oil stock price lag behind oil price are due to oil commodities traders trading, speculating on daily oil supply, demand, dollar news, while oil stock price have to wait till 3 month later how oil prices influence on each company profitr margin with different oil dependence ,product mix, it is easy for 100 % crude oil production company like Russia YUKOs,, soaring oil price lead to higher margin, so is Chinas CEO, (Offshore OIL ) and PetroChina with heavy crude oil mix, stock price soared over 200, while integrated oil like Mobil has both upstrem and downstream, downstream are suffered by soaring oil, feedstock cost facing loss, refining company   facing profit squeeze. All the operating result are 3 month behind due to earning report But only proactive structural simulation of oil price and it impact on oil company earning, stock price, can predict ahead, and cut the time lag. details on www.osawh.com/oilpetpri.html www.osawh.com/Globaloiln.htm www.osawh.com/fund2008.htm

The market is repeating its last August speculative mood, chasing on banking, high tech stocks push Dow to 14200 new high, this time over 13000, trying to break downtrend., despite housing markets slump, soaring oil, commodities prices, job cuts and banking, finance mounting loss in write down.
The market optimism built on shaking ground, betting on housing, banking, high tech sectors rebound, will lead to another trillion dollar loss.
Goldman’s prediction of 200 dollar oil price is against market supply demand fundamental mechanism. Oil price bubble will burst before 200.consumers just can not afford
to pay for that price. We will have long, deep inflationary recession with us, even stimulus package rate cuts will not be able to achieve sustainable recovery this year. We have already seen the worst of dollar weakness at almost the end of current rate cuts cycle, the soaring oil price will push inflation higher, all will give support to US dollar.
Gasoline and heating oil are still the major demand driving force for oil price. It is the spring, summer gasoline demand drive the oil price from 80 to 120.
stronger dollar supported by inflation fighting will drag oil price lower, current oil price spike is expectation of stimulus package boost jet fuel and gasoline demand this summer.
We may see oil price breakout to 130, not much beyond that. details on www.osawh.com/Globaloiln.htm www.osawh.com/oilpetpri.html

From my pioneering proactive structural demand side oil price mechanism simulation on US Oil & Gas Journal 1983,  circulated  million copies to 80 countries, I accurately predicted oil price from 9 to 100
I predicted 2005 on China Oil Markets Conference workshop, Beijin to multinational oil, QFII CEO, executives that oil prices soared to 80 , due to increasing demand from China/US   global housing, auto, construction materials and transportation, despite dragged by  US housing market weakness, oil price will be supported by second leg of dollar plunge against Yen, and inflation, seasonal demand in gasoline, heating oil and global housing, constructional materials, metals energy consumption. it peaking out last summer gasoline demand at 80, Fed 225 points rate cut, led to Yen plunge to 100-105, and EURO to 1.55 , driving oil price to 90- 115 , supporting winter heating oil demand season begin Oct- Nov , and in cold winter, and boosted spring summer driving peak demand in 2008 through economic stimulus, tax cuts

Hedge fund can not run against the fundamental supply , demand of oil upstream and downstream., they suffered trillion dollar loss by betting on the wrong side of investment.
Based on my 40 years experiences with US major oil and China, US oil exploration, production, refining, marketing, investment
I predicted in 2005 on China Oil Market conference that oil price will be soared from 55 to 80 in summer 2006- 2007, due to Soaring China, US, global housing price bubble demand for energy intensive construction material and consumer demand for fuel, gasoline. while refinery facing bottleneck, above 90 % capacity, crude oil amount to 90 % of refinery cost, they are reluctant to produce fuel at current gasoline price, that is why gasoline inventory is low.
It will take time for China alternative energy to play any significant contribution.oil price will have support at 60,even in next year US recession, due to China, and global housing market demandand weak dollar,
details can be found on www.osawh.com/oilpetpri.htm

My crude oil price tracking last 20 years and forecasted closely related gasoline demand, price in summer and heating oil demand, prices in winter which tied into consumer, business demand, finally control by monetary policy interest rates, currency.
This relationship forecast on the blog in July that oil price peaking out at 80 in summer 2007, and traded between 60- 80 extended into next year, supported by falling dollar and any rate cuts to stimulated the consumer, business demand.
recent Benanke, Bush statement, in any rate cuts to stimulate the housing demand, lead to oil speculator drive up gasoline, heating oil prices and further supported by dollar plunged from 122 to 115 Yen.details can be found on
