Dolly to Deliver Hurricane Hell?

Tropical storm Dolly, which is now strengthening in the Gulf of Mexico, is now all but certain to deliver a wallop to oil production facilities.

The price spike on the charts is largely due to the rapid strengthening of Dolly, adding to the disappointment of no agreement over the weekend between Eurozone negotiators and Iranian leadership. The chart at right shows Dolly's eye path and potential strength when it makes landfall over the next few days. This was bound to happen eventually!
