Crude Oil Prices Decline 1%

The price of Crude Oil tumbled 1% in yesterday's trading to $60.90. This comes despite increased optimism from the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) recently. However, many analysts expect the price of Oil to climb through the long-term as market conditions return to normal. Many analysts believe that the long-term prospects for Crude Oil are between $75-80.

In the meantime, the price of Crude Oil may only start going bullish again when the Dollar continues its decline, and if OPEC makes no output increases in their next meeting in Vienna, Austria on the 28th of May. In today's trading, the economic figures coming out of the U.S. and Euro-Zone are likely to impact the volatility of oil prices and traders would be wise to enter the market before this volatility kicks off.
