short term raise in oil prices is not a true affect on anyone.....it is a sad day yes.....Pakistan is in chaos now. This is all short term affects but politics is politics and someone will step up and take over where she left off. |
So you are saying the value is in her ideas and not her life itself? I guess for you life is cheap? |

Risk is priced in the markets. Political instability increases the risk in investing in oil markets, especially instability in the Middle East. When there is elevated risk, investors require a higher rate of return to compensate them for the risk they take on in investing. So, prices rise to satisfy the "risk premium" investors want for their risk.
Risk and their premiums have absolutely nothing to do with supply or demand, but is a function of human psychology. It really boggles my mind. About 30% of current oil prices are PURELY risk premiums investors require because of instability in Nigeria, Iran, Iraq, and now Pakistan.
It just goes to show; the law of supply and demand does not rule the market all the time. |
thank you both for the non-condisending answers. i didn't expect that on these boards 8) |

No, yet you seem to be unmoved by her death. |

I have no ties to Pakistan and....not to seem harsh but her death will have little to no affect on my life.....just like Princess Diana's death has had no affect on my life. I understand how this will affect the lives of millions of people across the world as they have ties to Pakistan but as I said, I don't have any ties to Pakistan. |

that's so true. Even Diana's had no real one on my life personally, bar knowing & seeing people discussing that. And now 10 years on they're finally having a trial which won't show up what actually happened, which is a monarchy sponsored assassination so she didn't marry a muslim man and 'embarass' future king of england ;) |

The death of millions of people will have 0 effect on me, yet i still fill pity for them. That is a very cold perspective mate. |

he didn't say he had 0% pity, just that it made no difference to his immediate life, which is true. |

i thought we already proved to you her death and rising tension in pakistan would in fact have an impact on your life-
princess dianas death was tragic but it didnt have anywhere near the political consequences butto's death will have, that i agree with-
do you really not see the point here? |

as someone who lived in asia, what sort of effect does pakistan have on the middle-east/oil etc stuff. Is it just financial, or do they have a hands on part that we don't know about? |

just consider the possibility that pakistan is harbouring terrorists...
plus the proximity of pakistan the hotbed of the middle east-
people have (btg + others) already mentioned gas prices rising and stocks falling directly because of this-
it's a global economy now more than ever and everything is a factor. |
