With the price of oil at a fifteen month low things don't seem too bad on that front.
However, as was mentioned in last month's magazine, there were some special reasons for the supply of oil increasing of late, thus perhaps leading to a lowering of price in the short term.
It can only be hoped that the trend will continue downwards or even remain stable, that would be good.
However analysts point to many factors which indicate the rise in oil prices is just around the corner.
