Analysis of oil prices in the light of geopolitical disorders in 2011. : master’s thesis

Međunarodno tržište nafte ovisi kao i svako drugo tržište o odnosu ponude i potražnje. Na formiranje cijena na međunarodnom tržištu nafte utječu ponuda i potražnja na svjetskim robnim burzama, koje zavise o tempu izlaska iz globalne gospodarske recesije, očekivanju rasta u pojedinim regijama, kao i o promjenama u strukturi potrošnje energije. Geopolitička situacija u svijetu i pojedinim regijama, osobito onima koje su važne za izvoz nafte, također utječe na formiranje cijena nafte.Abstract: The international oil market depends as much as any other market on the relationship between supply and demand.
