Crude Oil Prices Could Go Up Substantially Even From These Levels

"On the upside, if you look at some other commodities like copper, then obviously oil prices could go up substantially even from these levels. I don't think that oil is expensive compared to other commodities or compared to other goods prices in the world.

Further gains would obviously depend on some political problems — some interruptions in oil supplies or a possibility of the global economy experiencing some kind of a crack-up boom.

Crack-up booms don't last. They are not sustainable but they can last between six and 18 months and then a renewed setback occurs in the global economy." in CNBC
