Crude spike driven by Mideast tumult may be a ‘knee jerk' that quickly fades: analyst
CALGARY – An analyst says a spike in crude prices driven by the latest Mideast turmoil could be a knee-jerk reaction that quickly subsides. Enverus commodities expert Al Salazar says unless there is a sustained disruption in global crude oil supplies as a result of Israel's attacks on Iran, prices should return to normal in fairly short order. In the early afternoon, West Texas Intermediate crude was at US$71.89 a barrel, an almost six per cent increase from a day earlier. Fuel prices at the pump may see a bit of a pop in the coming days, but Salazar doesn't expect it to last unless there are longer term supply constraints. Fuel price-tracking website says the national average price for a litre of unleaded gasoline in Canada is 135.8 cents a litre, up less than a cent day-over-day.
