Academic: Oil price may hit US$50


FACTORS that have led to soaring crude oil prices could push the price per barrel of oil well past US$50, said an academic. 

“It is the base demand and the fragility of supply that is driving oil prices up. I think prices are going up much more, probably between US$50 and US$55 per barrel,'' said Prof Richard Vietor, senior associate dean at Harvard Business School.
