Speaker Synopsis <strong>IEA</strong> <strong>Expert</strong> <strong>Roundtable</strong> on Oil Price Formation Prof. Robert Weiner - George Washington University Assessing the Impact of Non-Commercial Traders Prof. Weiner will present his analysis of data from the CFTC and US exchanges. Outlining the methodology he has used for this analysis, he will discuss the concept of herding and why it is important when considering the impact of fund and speculative activity on prices before describing the data he has used and the limitations of the analysis. Dr. Philip K. Verleger, Jr. - PK Verleger LLC The Index Fund Effect Dr. Verleger will outline his perspective of how the cash from pension funds promoted inventory accumulation and how that may have led to higher prices, because OPEC refused to compensate for increased demand by boosting production. Mr. John Brunton - Cargill International S.A. The Three Stages of Oil Market Evolution Mr. Brunton will summarise how the oil market has evolved since the beginning of the decade and the inter-relationships between funds and fundamentals Mr. Mark Lewis - Energy Market Consultants (UK) Ltd./FACTS Fundamental Driving Forces of the Oil Market Mr.Lewis will discuss the physical supply, demand and investment issues that have influenced the oil market since 2003.
