Moody’s projects that if prices were based solely on supply and demand, a barrel of oil would cost only $75.</p><p>$30 is tacked on due to speculators, that is oil futures traders. They’re long oil, buying futures contracts with speculations that prices will continue to rise.</p><p>An additional $20 is caused by the <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=90041682">weak dollar</a>. Since crude oil is priced in dollars, as the dollar depreciates, higher prices are necessary to maintain a supply and demand balance. Since the dollar has depreciated about 10% in the last year, it buys about 10% less oil than it did a year ago.</p><p>The final $10 is attributed to what is called a risk premium — that is the apprehension in the marketplace that deliveries of oil supplies may be disrupted. This happens for a number of geopolitical reasons such as strikes in Nigeria or deterioration in Iraq. Sellers, therefore, demand a premium on current deliveries or hoard oil for future sales.</p><p>And there you have $135 barrels of oil.
