persoalan saya, adakah harga minyak dikawal oleh kerajaan pemenrintah dan bagaimanakah kerajaan pemerintah dapat menentukan turun naik harga minyak? setahu saya, harga minyak dikawal oleh negara2 yang mengekspot petroleum ( OPEC-org. of the petroleum exporting countries ). Menurut suatu website,
“Commentators have attributed the price increases of this period to a variety of factors, including reports from the U.S. Department of Energy and others showing a decline in petroleum reserves[7], worries over peak oil, Middle East tension, and oil price speculation[8]. Some events have had short term effects on oil prices, such as North Korean missile launches[citation needed], the crisis between Israel and Lebanon[citation needed], tensions over Iranian nuclear energy,[citation needed] unrest in Nigeria and the declining nominal value of the U.S. dollar.”

Via Wikipedia,
“The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is a large group of countries[1][2] made up of Algeria, Angola, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Venezuela, and Ecuador (which rejoined OPEC in November 2007). The organization has maintained its headquarters in Vienna since 1965, hosting regular meetings between the oil ministers of its member states.
OPEC’s influence on the market has been called into question. Several members of OPEC alarmed the world and triggered high inflation across both the developing and developed world when they used oil embargoes in the 1973 oil crisis. OPEC’s ability to control the price of oil has diminished somewhat since then, due to the subsequent discovery and development of large oil reserves in the Gulf of Mexico and the North Sea, the opening up of Russia, and market modernization. OPEC nations still account for two-thirds of the world’s oil reserves, and, in 2005, 41.7% of the world’s oil production, affording them considerable control over the global market. The next largest group of producers, members of the OECD and the Post-Soviet states produced only 23.8% and 14.8%, respectively, of the world’s total oil production.[4] As early as 2003, concerns that OPEC members had little excess pumping capacity sparked speculation that their influence on crude oil prices would begin to slip.”

Mengenai blog Dato Husam Musa tu, mungkin seseorang yang paakar dlm bidang ekonomi lebih layak memberi komen tentang harga petroleum ini. Bagi saya, obviously kalau suatu negara tuh kaya dengan buah epal, sudah pasti harga epal di negara tu murah (perumpamaan).
