OPEC weekly average prices have kept rising for six consecutive weeks

During the last five trading days, OPEC oil prices fluctuated at a high level between 90-92 dollars a barrel, but it also showed an insufficient capacity of a lasting rise.
As world's largest oil consumer, the United States has an important impact on international crude oil prices. Though U.S. unemployment rate in December 2010 reached the lowest level since May 2009, it did not significantly improve investors' prospect on U.S. economy and thus pushed up prices of crude oil futures.
Meanwhile, eurozone economy also remains slow in its economic recovery.
The latest figures from the European Union statistical bureau Eurostat showed that in November 2010

Analysts believed that the unsatisfactory economic figures in Europe and America

On the supply side, as OPEC decided in December 2010 to continue to comply with its production limits target set at the end of 2008, a further rise in oil prices would be more difficult due to an adequate oil supply, and thus might show an adjustment with fluctuations in the future.
