Aramco may provide prices next week. Prices for Arab Light and Extra Light grades may decline, said the traders, who asked not to be unidentified, citing confidentiality agreements.

What are you boys thinking? Here we are having a nice discussion on heavy crude price and you gotta spew for no reason. The President's name is OBAMA with out the embellishments. You needn't agree with him, in fact, that you don't can make this thread more interesting IF you had a viable alternative. As citizens, you boys are right?, you owe the office respect. Just the basic stuff you learned from home. Schoolyard puns belong with the boys in the schoolyard. Think we can get back to lower crude prices in Saudi Arabia?
