Higher oil prices seen threatening global recovery

From: www.ap.org

Rising oil prices could imperil a modest increase in crude demand and the recovery of the global economy, the International Energy Agency said Thursday as it raised its outlook for oil demand this year. "The recent price spike, if further extended, risks derailing the recovery," the IEA said. "Not only that, but oil demand itself would rebound much more slowly were the price rally sustained into 2010." Oil prices reached a record high of $147 a barrel in July 2008, helping fuel the recession. Prices then bottomed out at around $32 in December but have remained mostly above $65 for months, going as high ... Read Full Story

Analysis: Female minister just one of Saudi king’s steps forward What could be bigger than the appointment of the first female minister in Saudi Arabia? Possibly the appointment of a new minister of justice who may actually help her get equal rights with her male counterpart. Right now, Norah al-Faiz, the new deputy minister for women’s education, is bound by the same laws as every other woman in the land. She can do only what her closest male relative permits. For many women of her status and education, that law is interpreted liberally, but for the vast majority, it is not. See more here ... Read Full Story

Saudi oil minister: OPEC to hold output steady

From: www.ap.org

OPEC is unlikely to cut output at its upcoming meeting, Saudi Arabia's oil minister said in comments published Tuesday, as indications mounted that the oil producing bloc would resist a temptation to tighten the taps despite wanting higher crude prices.
