BarCap: The world economy can tolerate rising oil prices
The global economic recovery is unlikely to be threatened by rising oil prices, Amrita Sen, oil analyst at Barclays Capital, has said.
Answering Energy Source readers’ questions, Sen said she expected a “longer term increase in prices” with Opec spare capacity stretched and energy demand continuing to rise. But unlike other forecasters, she said such a rise would not threaten demand, with eastern consumers willing to pay more for their energy and western ones dipping into their savings.
