Oil has shot way higher for perfectly rational reasons, from booming global demand to Hurricane Katrina's impact on refining capacity, but overseas producers have every incentive to boost supply at today's prices, says Miller, which should make up for existing shortfalls. "Barring an unforeseen event"?another Katrina, say, or a 9/11?all this suggests to Miller that oil should retreat to about...
