And it's not going to happen! For oil and its downstream products price is highly inelastic; refineries were at capacity. So, when the quantity demanded is strong, the price shoots up; as the global economy weakens, it's tough times for the industry and OPEC won't be able to stop it. There's a good chance that we'll see a price of $30 to $50 in the next few months.
