Long ago an old married couple had a monkey troop living next to them. The monkeys would eat all the seed they sowed, so the couple planted yams, which they would not eat. When the yams were slow to grow, one of the monkeys told them they ought to boil the yam seeds first. While the couple were in the field to boil water, the monkeys entered their house. They chased away the monkeys, and one that got stuck had its bottom beaten flat by the old man.

World Oil Demand and its Effect on Oil Prices (open access)

World Oil Demand and its Effect on Oil Prices

Demand patterns for world oil and oil products show significant diversity by country, region, and product groupings. As a result of this diversity it is not possible to attach blame for the current level of price to any one nation, region, or product segment. The view that the oil market is international in scope and tightly interrelated is enhanced by the demand data. As a result of the integrated nature of the world oil market it is unlikely that any one nation acting on its own can implement policies that isolate its market from broader price behavior. As new major oil importers, notably China, and potentially India, expand their demand, the oil market likely will have to expand production capacity. This promises to increase the world’s dependence on the Persian Gulf members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, especially Saudi Arabia, and maintain upward pressure on price.
