- Like most commodities, the fundamental driver of oil’s price is supply and demand in the market.
- Oil markets are composed of speculators who are betting on price moves, and hedgers who are limiting risk in the production or consumption of oil.
- Oil supply is controlled somewhat by a cartel of oil producing nations called OPEC.
- Oil demand is driven by everything for gasoline for cars and airline travel to electrical generation.
