good morning all, oil fell 5.8% yesterday +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---+ Oil Will Reach $85 a Barrel, Decline Is Temporary, Goldman Says 2009-07-30 01:09:46.957 GMT By Yee Kai Pin July 30 (Bloomberg) -- Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said it is maintaining its forecast that West Texas Intermediate crude oil will reach $85 a barrel by year end as the recent weakness in market fundamentals will be temporary. Oil demand will be supported by stabilization in U.S. industrial activity and a positive outlook for China's economic growth, the bank said in a report today. "Concerns over economic growth and weak oil statistics led a commodity sell-off yesterday," Goldman analysts, led by London-based Jeffrey Currie, said in a report. "However, we believe most of these drivers are less negative than they first appear." Oil fell 5.8 percent yesterday, the biggest drop since April, after weekly U.S. government data showed an unexpected increase in crude inventories. Futures for September delivery on the New York Mercantile Exchange traded 28 cents lower down at $63.07 a barrel at 8:55 a.m. in Singapore.
