The Oil Barrel Organisation has predicted an increase to $110.00 per barrel of oil for the year entering 2012. Results from consumption figures from China and India along with USA indicate strong factors for the oil demands to increase considerably with a limited supply.

Nazir Jinnah of Oil barrel Organisation is calling for a near $20 fall in the price of Brent crude oil in the coming months, saying speculators have pushed prices ahead of fundamentals.
