OTOH, as CBS MarketWatch notes today:  "Crude futures soared above $27 a 
barrel Monday on fears of a possible disruption in Middle East oil exports 
following heavy violence between the Israelis and Palestinians over the 
weekend. Crude for May delivery rose as high as $27.07 a barrel before 
closing at $26.88, up 57 cents on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The 
contract had been trading as low at $19.85 a barrel just two months ago on 
Feb. 7."
