Saudi Arabia Agrees to Increase Oil Output After Crude Hits Another New Hig
2008-05-19 10:15:00 Oil soared to yet another record high on Friday after Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) raised its price forecast for the second half of the year. However, during a visit with Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah U.S. President George W. Bush was able to convince the world’s leading oil exporter to increase its output. Light sweet crude for June delivery jumped $3.31 a barrel, or 2.7%, to reach $127.43 in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Oil prices have now soared 103% in the past 12 months. The jump was largely attributable to a new prediction from investment-banking giant Goldman Sachs, which raised its price forecast for the second half of the year to $141 a barrel. Goldman Sachs analysts had previously quoted a price of $107 a barrel. “Supply constraints continue to push crude prices higher,” Goldman analysts wrote in a research note Friday. “The dire macroeconomic impact from the current oil shock has yet to materialize.” This is the...
