Oil
prices were higher in the markets today buoyed by an intensifying talk of an
Israeli military strike against Iran, AFP quoted analysts as saying. The expected
crude supply cut in the North Sea also contributed to the rising prices. Brent
North Sea crude for September, for example, advanced to $113.62.
Speculation
was mounting in the Israeli press about a possible strike on Iran, even though
the U.S. insisted that there was still time for a diplomatic solution to the
Iranian nuclear standoff.
The oil cartel has the world over the barrel.
ReplyDeleteNot to take away from your Trojans But My Michigan Wolverines have done better, Michael Phelps (from U of M) alone in past two Olympics has almost as much as all the others!
ReplyDeleteI love Phelps. But SC's current student athletes, won 25 medals this Olympics, including 12 gold. If I wanted to count medals by USC alumni, it would have been probably in three digits! BTW, the medals won by USC in London were the highest ever by any university at Olympics games. Michigan is of course OK!
