Ontem, critiquei uma reportagem da CBS News por não identificar a principal causa da subida do preço do petróleo.
Hoje, também na CBS News:
This week, the oil market is also expected to closely watch the outcome of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s policy meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The central bank’s policymakers will meet to decide whether to lower interest rates again and to issue an updated assessment of the U.S. economy and financial system. Most investors believe the Fed will lower rates by another quarter percentage point - and that it will also suggest it may temporarily halt its round of recent cuts.
“There are a lot of expectations that the Fed will make an announcement that they will take a pause in interest rate cuts,” Shum said. “If that’s the case, then the U.S. dollar may bottom out and that could cause some pullback in oil pricing.”
Many analysts believe the weakness of the dollar is a bigger factor than supply and demand because the soft dollar draws investors worried about inflation into commodities such as oil and gold. It also makes commodities less expensive for buyers operating in other currencies.
