Default Re: The Official Recession Thread

Then you have emerging economies like India but mostly China who are really starting to suck up a lot of oil that was previously available on the market for the Western nations. China is freaking huge - its demand for natural resources and commodities is unstoppable, and its not afraid to demand more and more from the world markets to satisfy its hunger.
This is the reason cited by economists. Extravagent increases demand for oil in the so called "third world" countries is steering prices up pretty crazily.
