Last Friday Wall Street suffered its worst losses in more than two months after crude oil prices spiked over $138, an increase of nearly $11, and the unemployment rate rose more than expected to 5.5 per cent. The Dow fell by 3.2 per cent or 394.64 points. Expect a bigger fall on Monday.

Prices keep rising despite a lack of shortages in the market, and strong evidence of lower consumption in industrialized countries.

I think you will find Iran is one of the world's largest exporters of oil - they do have a refinery capacity shortage, however.

And Iraq does export a good deal of its production too.
