However, he said, prices can go down "as much as 10 to 12 dollars" if the Hamas-Israel conflict and disputes between Russia and Ukraine about the gas has not been a problem can be solved. Oil prices rose sharply in mid-year, reaching record high above 147 U.S. dollars per barrel in July 2008 before declining trend in the global economy has encouraged the world to decrease energy demand and oil prices continue to decline.
