Here is a nominal dataset for the period between January of 1999 and the 25th of April 2008. It is not inflation adjusted - yet.

Later on, I'll show you the inflation adjusted data using shadowstats and US gov., respectively. At the end, I'll work in exchange rate into the oil prices, so that we can see the change in the 'real value' of oil to the US.

But first, a nominal historical dataset and graph.

About a month ago I did a quickie comparison of WTI in USD, CDN and Euros.
Look here:

At the time it looked like for the past year about one third of the price increase of WTI was related to the dollar decline.
Since the G7 meeting the USD is being defended against the Euro so even tho WTI has kept its cost in USD it has increased in cost vs the Euro meaning that oil is costing somewhat more in USD and a bit more than that relatively in Euros.

I was very much interested in your comparison but unfortunately I couldn't make your link work. Seems to be broken, tried it several times.

Yes.

Tried it this morning (9:37 AM here) and still can't make it work, sorry. Neither IE nor Firefox were able to open it. In fact all I got was a 'file not found' screen.

Leanan,

I cannot edit my first post in this thread. The pics are too big in pixelsize, and it has a negative effect on the layout. I'd change it if I could - but I cannot.

Could you please change the URLs of the first two graphs? Thx.

1st: http://img0.tar.hu/tovabba/size2/34430761.jpg
2nd: http://img0.tar.hu/tovabba/size2/34430762.jpg

These are smaller and will work better with the TOD layout.

Thanks one more time.

Another reason you should have your own blog. You'll be able to edit it!
