    Why does he have to be Jim Corr?

    There is indeed some sense in what he is saying. And its clearly evident.

    I posted in the Bin Laden is dead thread, that this would happen, and that it would kick off in Syria, long before any news broke of it, and I was also called Jim Corr.

    :D

    Oil Prices Fall As Rebels Enter Tripoli

    9:13am UK, Monday August 22, 2011

    Oil prices have fallen as markets expect a rise in production as a conclusion to the Libyan unrest nears.

    Libya's oil production has fallen to around ten per cent of normal capacity

    Brent crude oil was down $3 as to $105.62 a barrel on early trading, while US sweet, light crude fell 0.8% to $81.57 in trading in Asia.

    Oil production in Libya was around 1.6 million barrels a day before the unrest, making the firm the 12th largest producer of oil in the world.

    But production levels have fallen to around a tenth of capacity following the fighting, sending prices soaring in recent weeks.

    Elsewhere, there were falls in European markets on concerns the eurozone crisis could claim another victim such as Italy or Spain.

    The German DAX fell 1.2% on opening, while the CAC40 in France fell 1%.

    Elsewhere, gold reached another record high price, up 2.3% to $1,894.5 an ounce as investors looked for safer option in wake of uncertainty around the US economy.

    Asian stock markets fell in afternoon trading, with Hong Kong's Hang Seng down 1.5% in late trading, while Tokyo's Nikkei ended the day 1% lower.

    The Japanese yen was close to its record level of 76.1 yen to the dollar set on Friday.
