Under the influence of the International Energy Agency's (IEA) forecast of reduced fossil fuel demands this quarter, the ramping up of oil stocks in the U.S., and lagging economic growth indicators in Germany and France, the international oil price has been decreasing steadily, according to the CPC, with this week's floating price index falling to US$106.33 per barrel, down US$0.88 from last week's US$107.21.
