Oil Hits Record $55 on Winter Fuel Fears
-------------------------------------------------
NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. oil hit $55 a barrel on Friday as traders worried over thin heating oil inventories ahead of winter and Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan predicted the soaring costs would not crimp economic growth as they did in the 1970s.
"So long as supply-demand fundamentals remain tight and inventories remain low, prices will stay strong or strengthen," said London energy consultant Geoff Pyne. "High prices have had little effect on demand so far."
U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, while warning of more serious risks if oil prices were to move "materially higher," said he did not see current levels inflicting the kind of pain on economic growth seen in the 1970s
"The impact of the current surge in oil prices, though noticeable, is likely to prove less consequential to economic growth and inflation than in the 1970s," Greenspan told a conference in Washington, adding that over the long haul technology and the transition to alternative energy sources will ensure the world's oil supply met demand.
