would a war drive prices up or down? what a tough question
a war is likely to hurt consumer confidence. but could well stimulate economic activity. could it hurt air travel any more?
would a short war, long war or no war be best for oil prices? a long war or no war could mean ongoing uncertainties. a short war could mean expansion of iraq oil exports
i tend to agree with bigface, a short war would be best for oil prices, because uncertainties out of way and economic growth would pick up
