Volatile price movements look set to become the norm short to mid-term, as geo-political tensions and whippy currency and oil movements trigger a rush of speculative interest in either direction.

The Fed is a price fixer; it fixes the price of short-term credit. If there's an increase in demand for credit, interest rates want to rise. But because the Fed is fixing the price of credit to keep rates from rising, it has to create more reserves or allow banks to create more money, and that's what leads to bubbles.

I would not be surprised to see continued price increases at least in the short term. September could be an unpleasant month when it comes to fuel prices.
