Oil blew past $122 after a Goldman Sachs analyst predicted a “super spike” in the next two years. Is this the new normal for crude?
Independent oil trader Joe Terranova couldn’t be more bullish on oil. This is an issue of supply, he said. As long as supply stays relatively limited, the energy trade should remain easy, as far as he is concerned. “You’re either long of oil or you’re not playing the game.”
Terranova’s bullishness also translates to natural gas, where he predicts a volatile summer for prices as demand increases overseas.
