Marc Faber: Positive Outlook for Oil
ET Now: What is your view on crude in the light of the recent volatility?
Marc Faber:
My view regarding oil is similar to that on other commodities. We had a
huge increase in crisis after 1999 when crude rose from $12 a barrel to
over $100 a barrel and a peak was made in July 2008 at $147. It came
down again and then rallied again.
In general, regarding crude and other commodities, the cost of
exploration and extraction has gone up and I do not foresee a meaningful
decline. Now, can the oil price temporarily drop to $80 a barrel?
That is a possibility, but in general, unless the oil price is above
$80 to $100, exploration will be curtailed. So my outlook for oil is
rather positive, especially given the geopolitical situation that we are
faced with. - in ET NOW July 2014
