Crude prices soar on Libya contagion fears
As crude prices?�hit a two and a half year high on concerns the revolt in Libya could spread to other major oil producers,?�the International Energy Agency is warning that?�poses a danger to global economic recovery. ?�The IEA’s chief economist Fatih Birol said?�industrialised countries are standing ready to release oil from stockpiles to compensate for Middle East supply disruptions.?�OPEC is reportedly?�considering calling?�an emergency meeting to discuss raising oil output. ?�Oil prices jumped eight percent in New York as soon?�as trading started there on Tuesday morning after a one day public holiday on Monday. ?�?�?�Investors fear further disruption both in Libya and beyond as protests grip the North Africa and the Middle East, the world’s top oil producing region.?�A wave of protests across North Africa has had little impact on oil supply until now. The outages in Libya this week are the first to impact supply.?�Michael Hewson, an analyst at CMC Markets, said: “Until the situation in the Middle East settles down, you are going to have very wild price swings.”?�On Tuesday?�the violence in Libya led one oil company there to shut in 100,000 barrels per day (bpd) of the country’s 1.6 million bpd output.?�OPEC has spare capacity of up to?�six million barrels, so even if all exports were stopped this would not create a supply shortage, said Carsten Fritsch, an analyst at Commerzbank.?�“It is more fears that this might spread to places like Algeria, Kuwait or the United Arab Emirates,” he said.?�
