It’s interesting that the oil price continues to remain low, and has even fallen again in recent months.
Many people predicted that there would be a rise towards $80 per barrel by the summer but instead we are back down around the $55 mark for Brent crude.
This little chart will give you some idea of who this prolonged low price is hurting (and helping).
Can it be sustained for the rest of 2015 – if the recent fall is anything to go by then I’d say yes.
