      <![CDATA[
        This year, monetary authorities around the world including the Bank of England, European Central Bank and the Federal Reserve in the United States are running money printing machines at full speed. Cheap money is flooding the markets (again, as in the period after 2001) searching for yield in different asset classes. It was not only stock markets that recovered from the crashes in 2008, but commodities also showed a nice rally from the bottom in March.

        One year ago, the biggest oil companies in the world were able to report record profits, due to high oil prices. In the third quarter of 2008, the world's largest oil company, ExxonMobil, reported a record profit of $14.8bn. One year later in the same period, the US integrated oil company showed a profit drop of 68%. What a big difference an average oil price of $118 (Q3-2008) versus $68 (Q3-2009) can make.

        Investors are still risk averse, witnessing rising gold prices and rising stock markets. Gold futures with delivery for December 2009 recently reached an all time high above $1,070 per troy ounce. After wobbling over many months in a broad trading range, Gold finally chose its direction by breaking the heavy psychological barrier of $1000. At current levels, Gold is being traded in unchartered territory.

      <![CDATA[
        Oil prices (WTI and Brent Crude Oil) have more than doubled since the bottom hit the low $30's at the beginning of the year. West Texas Intermediate even recently touched a high of $75 in August. In the past six months, commodity prices recovered sharply on hopes that the recession was beginning to ease. Some analysts even stated that economic recovery would pull us out of the worst recession since the Second World War.

      <![CDATA[
        In my previous columns, when I discussed 'the oil market' I referred to the benchmarks of the West Texas Intermediate (WTI ) and the European equivalent Brent Oil. This time I would like to pay attention to futures based on the Middle East Sour Crude Oil, traded at the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE).
