This coming week will be very interesting. Will the price of oil go down further, stay the same or increase. It is assumed that the if the price goes down, the fuel price will go down just a little, if the price goes up the fuel price will go up much more. I have not heard much more about Nigeria and storms so let's hope the price will go down, following the fall in consumer purchases.
