U.S. oil producers may hold off on cashing in on higher prices
It’s hard to keep track of the economic repercussions of the War in the Middle East – oil prices have been rising and falling based on the latest news. Whether prices are $100 or $80 a barrel, they’re still higher than they would be without any war at all, and that means more cash in hand for U.S. oil producers.
But will that money go towards increasing U.S. oil production?

This is a most likely a transitory event, with the war in Iran, and prices [are] likely to come back down,” he said.
