NEW YORK (AP) -- Crude oil prices dropped for the fifth day in a row Thursday to two-month lows, as traders exited what they say is a market trending lower on weaker U.S. consumer demand. Gasoline, heating oil and natural gas prices fell as well. But analysts suggested that the coming Western hemisphere winter could push product prices upward again, with demand for heating oil outstripping supply because of refinery shortfalls and tight imports.

[Chapmam] Synthetic motor oils are definitely a growing segment in the U.S. market. As the barriers to trading up have become easier to overcome and as consumers continue to seek more benefit in the oils they use, the market continues to migrate towards the top tier synthetic segment. A small element of this growth is contributed by hybrid vehicles and other OEM specifications requiring synthetic use, but the vast majority of it is driven by consumer demand for better motor oil products. Quaker State Synthetic has seen tremendous growth over the past four years, and the proposition has been further strengthened by the recent addition of an "Unsurpassed Wear Protection" claim. This comparison states our wear protection performance is unbeatable in the synthetic motor oil market as measur...

WASHINGTON, March 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The economy continues to show increasing signs of self-sustaining momentum, however an unexpected jump in oil prices and the potential for further tightening of fiscal policy suggest less economic momentum than previously believed, according to the March 2011 Economic Outlook released today by Fannie Mae's (OTC Bulletin Board: FNMA) Economics & Mortgage Market Analysis Group. Projected economic growth for the year was lowered to 3.5 percent - down slightly from 3.7 percent in February 2011, but up from 2.7 percent annual growth in 2010. The recent jump in oil prices and unpredictability of the magnitude and duration of the oil price rise has injected additional uncertainty about the prospects for consumer spending and economic growth for 2011 a...

Your eyes are not deceiving you in the grocery store. Yes, your bag of Doritos just got bigger. No, the price didn't change. Last year, food packages shrank as food makers, dealing with record high ingredient costs, struggled to maintain their profits. But the weakened economy has caused a slump in demand for ingredients like corn and oil, pushing those prices back down. With lower ingredient costs - and higher consumer demand for more value - some brands like Frito-Lay are shifting back to bigger packages, without raising prices.

Crude oil finished the day just above $119 a barrel -- its lowest settlement price since early May.

While the initial wave of modern Islamic banking focused on the retail side of the business, investment banks are the new trailblazers. US and European banks are bidding for Shariah-compliant tranches of major financings to repackage as investment funds. Meanwhile, the oil-rich countries of the Middle East offer a pool of liquidity that is a big draw for financiers and companies seeking to raise capital. Dubai Ports World's takeover of UK-based port operator P&O last year was financed in part with Islamic "bonds," or sukuk, that were oversubscribed more than four times, receiving a total of $11.4 billion in bids. Saudi Arabia is swarming with investment bankers who are eager to bring to market the next batch of initial public offerings to deepen the Saudi stock market. While oil is ...
