The Crude Oil Price for August, 2019 was $54.81. That's $2.54 lower than the
July, 2019 average price which was $57.35. It is $13.25 lower than the August,
2018 price of $68.06.  The fall in Crude Oil Prices from July to August indicates
that the short term Crude Oil Price trend has been down. If that trend continues,
we should see a crude oil price in September, 2019 that is close to $52.

Over the last year oil prices have averaged $58.62.  The average price over
the last 10 years was $73.04.  Lower Crude Oil Prices over the last 12 months
compared to the average prices over the last 10 years serve as an indicator
that the long term rate trend in the Crude Oil Price is down. Oil price
expectations should be adjusted accordingly.
