Although American economic and political strength is defined from the ideology of the two visions, Hamilton’s strategic vision faded after the civil war.

Among the most significant influencing elements is the global political environment as well as the forces of demand and supply. The political climate gets driven primarily by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and the United States of America.

The supply and demand also get affected by OPEC, although the futures market mainly drives it. The futures market enables consumers to buy oil at a predefined future date using the current oil prices. This speculation means that if the costs are expected to…
