...asset classes, when economic growth begins to return. Other experts argue against a rapid rebound, because inventories are high for commodities such as oil, and because demand for natural resources has been so thoroughly squelched in some industries that it may not fully recover any time soon. Francisco Blanch, head of commodities research for Merrill Lynch in London, says he doesn't expect overall demand will return to 2007 levels until 2011 at the earliest. "Over a number of years we will get back to supply constraints," says Blanch, but "it won't happen over the next...

As “Black and White” deconstructs the way in which we interact, it challenges, rather unwittingly, the way race characterizes those...
Several oil analysts - who predicted earlier this year that oil would reach $200 by year's end - have recently said that oil could drop to $50 a barrel. Merrill's Blanch had oil pegged at $90/bbl for 2008 last month, but he can easily see $50/bbl if there's a global recession. That could be more welcome news for drivers next year.
