Why have oil prices remained up while other commodities have decreased in price?

1. Gold, copper, and Iron prices have fallen from their peaks. Oil prices seem to have defied gravity.

2. Shale oil production will increase over time causing price to decrease and dependency on foreign oil to decrease.

3. Jan Stuart says the oil price bottom could reach $29 a barrel.

4. The shale oil boom will be delay, not stopped. Traders are not storing oil and selling for high price in the future capitalizing on the contract and downward price movement. They are anticipating a boom in price amidst the oversupply.
