Oil Hits New Record on Supply Concerns

Dylan Sun Said:

Oil prices rose to a new record settlement price Tuesday as traders turned their attention to a government inventory report expected to show tight supplies and shrugged off OPEC’s decision to boost output.

Even factoring in OPEC’s decision to increase oil production by 500,000barrels per day starting Nov. 1, “supplies are tight,” said Addison Armstrong, an analyst at TFS Energy Futures LLC. And according to analyst predictions, they’re going to get even tighter. Analysts surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires, on average, expect Wednesday’s report from the Energy Department’s Energy Information Administration will say that crude oil inventories fell by 2.7 million barrels in the week ended Sept. 7.

Investors had already priced in OPEC’s increase, and many were looking for a larger production boost, analysts said. Light, sweet crude oil for October delivery rose 74 cents to settle at $78.23 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange after alternating frequently between gains and losses. The settlement price bested the previous record, set July 31, by 2 cents. Oil’s rise pulled October gasoline 0.25 cent higher to settle at $1.9811 a gallon after the contract spent much of the day in negative territory. In other Nymex trading, heating oil futures rose 1.11 cents to settle at $2.1827 a gallon, and October natural gas added 4.3 cents to settle at $5.934 per 1,000 cubic feet.

In London, October Brent crude oil rose 90 cents to settle at $76.38 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange. OPEC, which produces about 40 percent of the world’s oil, had long been expected to hold production levels steady at the meeting. But rumors started circulating on Monday that Saudi Arabia was campaigning to boost production. Many analysts think the Saudis are worried high oil prices will crimp demand for crude oil, which could hurt OPEC nations in the long run.

However, some analysts interpreted the fact that Tuesday’s meeting lasted longer than expected as a sign the Saudis had a hard time persuading other OPEC nations to boost production. Tim Evans, an analyst at Citigroup Inc., thinks some OPEC members are worried demand for oil will slow in the fourth quarter, which combined with more supplies could mean sharply lower prices. Many OPEC countries already produce more oil than their quotas. But Omar Farouk Ibrahim, spokesman for the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, said the announced increase would be based on the group’s current production, not quotas ?a

Meaning the 12-nation cartel will be adding actual oil to the market. That translates into a quota increase of nearly 1.4 million barrels per day, Evans said. “This is a big number,” Evans said, adding that it would take futures traders a while to digest its significance. “This is not something that the market’s going to adjust to in a few minutes.” At the pump, meanwhile, gas prices slid 0.5 cent overnight to a national average of $2.814 a gallon, according to AAA and the Oil Price Information Service. Retail prices, which typically lag the futures market, peaked at $3.227 in late May.

Women’s Perfume – Stuff You Would Like To Know

Adam Hunter Said:

don’t just wear perfumes because they have to smell good, but because the scent they wear tell so much of their personality. Thus, you can find a wide range of women’s perfumes. Whether you are conservative or modern, traditional or funky, sultry or simple, you will surely find a scent that speaks a lot about you.

Shopping for perfumes can be a little confusing as there are so many scents to choose from. Nonetheless, since it is something that you have to do, anyway, it only makes sense to know everything you need to know about perfumes for you to find one that suits you best.

One of the most important things you need to know is that perfumes come not just in a variety of scents but in different types, too. By now you must have seen so many bottles of perfume bearing words like Eau da Parfum, Eau de Toilette, and Eau de Cologne. Which of these types should be your preference?

Women’s perfumes belonging to the Eau da Parfum category are basically stronger in scent as the fragrance concentrations are much higher. They also last longer, so they make great choices in special events when you have to be at your absolute best. Perfumes under the Eau de Toilette category are perfect for everyday wear. They are mildly scented, but they cannot last as long as the perfumes under the Eau da Parfum category. Eau de Toilette perfumes are an absolute must-have of those in the working class.

Eau de Cologne perfumes have the least fragrance concentration, so you cannot really expect the scent to stay on longer. After a hot day, it’s nice to spray on your favorite Eau de Cologne to freshen up. You must have also seen an abundance of perfume oils in the Lady’s Department of your favorite mall. Perfume oils usually appear in small containers in solid form. They are very convenient to carry around, and the scent lasts long, too.

If you can afford it, designer perfumes like Cool Waters, Nina Ricci, Burberry, Christian Dior, Elizabeth Ardedn, Lancome, Ralph Lauren, Estee Lauder, and Chanel make great choices, but yes, they do cost a fortune. Don’t worry though as there are ways you can find them at a discount. One, wait for the time when they go out on sale. Stores usually put up sale events many times in a year, and when they do, there’s a good chance that the perfume you have had set your eyes on will also be on sale. It’s always a good thing to wait for such events because you can save as much as 30% and that’s really a pretty good deal.

Another way you can get designer perfumes at a lesser cost is through eBay. It shouldn’t cost you a dime to use eBay’s search engine to look for perfumes at discounted prices.

Be the woman that you are and deserve to be. Find great deals of your favorite women’s perfumes on the internet.
