Laut der folgenden Meldung ist der venezulanische Praesident Chavez wieder im Amt. Da Venezuela unter Chavez die OPEC Quoten strickt einhielt, duerfte dies am Montag die Oelpreise wieder steigen lassen, die am Freitag nach Chavezs voruebergehender Amtsenthebung um $1,52 auf $23,47 je Barrel fielen. Auf den Kurs von Delta hatte das keine grosse Auswirkung, er konnte sich sogar um 5Cent auf $4,70 verbessern. In der vergangenen Woche schwankte der Kurs zwischen $4,65 und $4,70. Es wurden insgesamt 84.300 Aktien gehandelt. Im gleichen Zeitraum fiel der Oelpreis von $26,71 auf $23,47 je Barrel. Delta zeigt eine gewisse Staerke die solche Schwankungen im Oelpreis verkraften kann. Sunday April 14, 11:41 am Eastern Time Reuters Business Oil Set to Rise as Chavez Back in Office By Peg Mackey DUBAI (Reuters) - World oil prices are set to rebound on Monday after Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez reclaimed power, easing market fears the OPEC producer would change tack and abandon its cartel output limits. OPEC champion Chavez returned to Caracas in jubilation on Sunday after two days of imprisonment following a military coup. But oil dealers continued to monitor the world`s fourth biggest oil exporter as it attempted to restore internal stability. ``Is there such a thing as a counter, counter-revolution?`` Peter Gignoux, head of the energy desk at Schroder Salomon Smith Barney said on Sunday. ``This is good old-fashioned political uncertainty. After the market did a 180 degree turn, it`s about to do the same again.`` On Friday, a Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) official triggered a price collapse when he said output should be set according to market conditions and not OPEC quotas. Under Chavez, the Latin American producer emerged as one of OPEC`s most committed members, honoring its output limit after years of quota cheating. ``Chavez` return is positive news for the oil market,`` said Lawrence Eagles of GNI Research. ``He is very pro-OPEC, which means Venezuela`s quota will remain intact.`` Eagles reckoned prices could jump about 50 cents on the news, while others shied away from making projections on prices that plunged well over $1 per barrel on the PDVSA remarks. ``We thought there was a change in Venezuela`s oil policy on Friday, but we`re not going to see it today,`` said Gignoux. ``If you jump to conclusions in this business, you pay a penalty.`` Before the Caracas upheaval pushed the oil price down to just over $23, prices had sped to $27 a barrel after Iraq announced a month-long ban on exports in protest at Israel`s military incursions into Palestinian territories. LINGERING UNCERTAINTY Chavez may seem humbled by his brief overthrow, but oil markets will need to be convinced that calm will prevail among restless oil workers -- the core of the short-lived revolution. It was their protests last week that disrupted operations and hit exports to the key U.S. market. As much as 500,000 barrels per day (bpd) of its 2.6 million bpd of crude output was cut by the strike and refinery operations severely curtailed. But when Chavez threw in the towel, dissident PDVSA employees headed back to work and vowed to return exports to normal. There were no immediate signs on Sunday that they would return to the picket lines. ``Chavez seems less confrontational and may have placated some enemies,`` said Eagles. ``That means chances of an all-out strike are less than before he went.`` But the Venezuelan leader must watch his step and seek a long-lasting solution with employees from South America`s biggest oil conglomerate. ``Chavez will have to tread much more carefully,`` said Geoff Pyne, analyst with Sempra Energy Trading. ``If not, he will return to the old days where the problems at PDVSA went unsolved. And if bad feelings within PDVSA increase, at some stage it may lead to a prolonged strike.`` |
