Even the demand and supply cycle depends on many different factors like the weather, transportation and also political reasons.If the oil does not reach the destination on time, then it increases the price per barrel the next morning for that respective country. Also, different companies that produce oil price at different rates within a stipulated range by the government. Today, the price of oil per barrel is around $78. It is $1.78 more than the previous day. It could be blamed on the bad weather conditions. This pricing was for the states on the East Coast. It is snowing there, and obviously there was a delay in transportation. So, the oil prices vary even from one state to the next in the US. This affects the consumers who depend on it.
As an investment, the local transportation factors do not matter. Factors like shipping and cargo might affect the oil pricing for that country. Sometimes weather plays a role while drilling and extracting crude oil. If companies involved in excavating oil do not produce the necessary barrels of oil each day, there is a shortage which can last even for a few months. When this happens, the price per barrel increases until supply returns to normal. However, this kind of increase would be more gradual.
