Default Re: Oil drops below $129 a barrel on demand

I think rather than demand, it's speculation, and it isn't that significant anyhow. The biggest single day drop since March 31st isn't exactly saying something.

As it turns out, that's yesterday's news.

The short and possibly mid-term demand for oil is relatively inelastic. There is no immediate substitute and conservation only goes so far.
