Oil tops $140 after OPEC price prediction
Cartel’s president says oil price could top $150 a barrel

NEW YORK - Oil futures shot above $140 Thursday after OPEC’s president said oil prices could rise well above $150 a barrel this year and Libya said it may cut oil production.

Light, sweet crude for August delivery rose as high as $140.39 in afternoon trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange before retreating slightly to trade up $5.53 at $140.08. Final prices weren’t available, but crude appeared headed to a record settlement.

Chakib Khelil, president of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, said he believes oil prices could rise to between $150 and $170 a barrel this summer before declining later in the year. Khelil said he doesn’t think prices will reach $200 a barrel.

Let's see if anything comes out of sub-committee hearings this week. If anything ever gets out of committee. That's where things usually stall.
