Would that mean that the decrease in price we see just now is also due to the balance between supply and demand?

I can't wait to see a "oil goes down" diary at the oil drum though...

I suppose that the decrease is due to the slowing of economy which is happening in US and UE now, but I'm wondering what TOD will say about it. Ignoring it is bad policy.

I don't see any evidence of trend reversal. Though I'm sure there's a chartist out there that believes a double peak like you can see towards the end of the series is a sign of trend reversal.

There is probably no trend reversal as you say it, but the decrease is still important. I personnally would confusely link it to the news we hear about a slowing down in Europe and in the US. But I would appreciate if some expert from ET or elsewhere were able to describe and explain the whys and whynots of this change.
