Why did the quote for oil plunge after Japan refiners shut plants after the earthquake? I can't imagine how that would cause a 3% drop in the price of oil. Luckily, my Uncle Frank is a oil man who can explain it to me.  ??? :)

Will this affect the price of gas and how soon?  It doesn't take any time at all for the price of gasoline to go up when the price of oil goes up.

I would assume that since japans ports are damaged they would not be able to unload oil. So that oil is sitting on ships and needs to be dumped somewhere which should drop oil prices.
Curb your politician.  We have leash laws you know.

Steve that would not explain a 3% drop in the world price of oil. Oil sitting off the coast of Japan is way less than 3% of supply. Has to be other market factors.

The Earthquake had both a Physical and Psychological impact on the market. The article below explains it very well.


"Oil fell below $100 a barrel in New
York for the first time in more than a week after Japan’s
strongest earthquake in at least a century forced refiners to
shut several processing plants."
