Did speculation drive oil prices? market fundamentals suggest otherwise

Oil market speculation became an especially popular topic when the price of crude tripled over 18 months to a record high $145 per barrel in July 2008.

In this article, we look at evidence from the physical market for oil and conclude that fundamentals, and not speculation, were behind the dramatic rise and fall in oil prices. In our companion Economic Letter, we examine the futures market.

We look for the pricing effects of limited arbitrage through causality testing between prices at nodes on the U.S. natural gas ...
