5 Reasons Oil Prices Could Jump

Oil Prices Have Fallen Off a Cliff

Oil prices are down around 50% since last summer and it’s starting to have an impact on producers and demand,

which could mean higher prices around the corner.

Capital Spending Cuts• Oil explorers are slashing capital budgets

to stay alive• RBC Capital Markets expects global

capital spending to drop 20% to $349 billion in 2015

• Moody’s expects capital spending to fall 41% in North America

• Eventually, this will lead to lower oil production and ease the industry’s oversupply of 1-2 million barrels per day

OPEC May Be Tired of Low Prices

OPEC will lose an estimated $257 billion in 2015 because of low oil prices and it makes short-term

economic sense to cut production now. The cartel could raise oil prices by cutting production by 1-2 million barrels per day, something its smaller

members are already pushing for.

International Unrest

After a decade of wars, revolutions, and terrorism that impacted oil production in Iraq, Syria, Libya, and

elsewhere the last two years have been relatively calm, coinciding with the oversupply of oil.

That could be changing with unrest in Yemen and ISIS spreading into Iraq and Iran. If international unrest

impacts production prices could rise quickly, like they did last week.

Bigger Cars and a Better EconomyWith oil prices near $2 per gallon, SUV sales have skyrocketed in

the U.S. As a result, after a decade of declining oil consumption, we’ve

used 4% more oil in the first two months of 2015 than we did a year ago.

China and India Could Boost Growth• One of the fears that has driven oil prices down is

slowing growth in China, which would lead to lower oil demand

• If China’s growth stays strong and India continues to grow at 7%-9% in 2015 they’ll increase demand for oil

• This is key because they’re in the top four in oil imports globally

Will Oil Prices Jump in 2015?

We don’t know exactly where oil will be at the end of 2015, but if these factors play out prices could rise

dramatically. For consumers and investors there are literally billions

of dollars on the line and Middle Eastern conflict, growth in Asia, and cost cuts in America may decide

where oil heads from here.

This $19 trillion industry could destroy the InternetOne bleeding-edge technology is about to put the World Wide Web

to bed. And if you act right away, it could make you wildly rich. Experts are calling it the single largest business opportunity in the

history of capitalism... The Economist is calling it "transformative"... But you'll probably just call it "how I made my millions." Don't be

too late to the party:
