Brent oil to drop below $90/bbl in short term-BofAML Thu Feb 10, 2011 1:34pm GMT_Print | Single Page [-] Text [+] LONDON Feb 10 (Reuters) - Brent oil prices LCOc1 are about to decline significantly in the short term to below $90 per barrel on spare OPEC capacity and rising supply, Bank of America Merrill Lynch wrote in a report on Thursday. The bank notes that despite political turbulence in the Middle East, - the approaching end of winter, - excessive production capacities and - potential monetary policy tightening in emerging markets will push the price below $90 until the fourth quarter. For the entire year, the bank expects Brent crude prices to average about $88 per barrel and U.S. light crude CLc1 to average $87 per barrel, but sees upside risks to the forecast - due to global economic expansion and - further quantitative easing in the United States. Brent oil traded above $100 per barrel on Thursday, hitting as much as $102.88 driven by Middle East tension and briefly by rumours, later dismissed, that Saudi King Abdullah was seriously ill and may even have died. [ID:nL3E7D90CD] [ID:nLDE71919V] OPEC said in a report on Thursday that it had raised its oil output to 29.72 million barrels per day in January, the highest since December 2008 and around 400,000 barrels per day more than the previous month.

Out too early with below target Analysts said the military could play a key role if demonstrations swell. "This now creates a massive crisis for the Egyptian military," analysts with Stratfor global intelligence company said in a statement soon after Mubarak's speech. "As dawn breaks over Cairo, it is likely that large numbers of others will join the demonstrators and that the crowd might begin to move. The military would then be forced to stand back and let events go where they go, or fire on the demonstrators," the analysts said. Soon after Mubarak spoke, opposition leader Mohamed ElBaradei also stressed the role of the military. "Entire nation is on the streets. Only way out is for regime to go. People power can't be crushed. We shall prevail. Still hope army can join," he said on Twitter.
The military is siding with Mubarak and telling people to go home and let the changes play out. But the people don't trust the people in power. I don't see them going home. Plus they won't march on the Presidential Palace as Mubarak has left. We'll see how it plays out today. Good trade BTW. Assume you were sleeping when you got filled.
