Oil to drop to $US35 next year: Forbes
30/08/2005 01:18:09 PM
American publishing executive Steve Forbes says he expects the price of oil to fall as low as $US35 a barrel within a year, blaming the current price spike largely on speculation.
Forbes, in Sydney for a conference of global business leaders sponsored by his organisation, said US inflation was helping fuel the rise "and the rest of it is a sheer bubble of speculation".
"I think in 12 months we are going to see oil down to $US35, $US40 a barrel," he said.

As Hurricane Katrina lashed the US Gulf Coast, oil hit $US70.80 a barrel before retreating.
"It is a huge bubble, I don't know what's going to pop, but eventually it will pop," Forbes said of the oil price.
