Another rally in crude oil prices could be in store this week given the contagion effect of global natural gas shortages that are pushing energy users and speculators buy up other fuels, analysts said.
U.S. crude oil prices jumped some 4.5 percent last week on the back of the spike in global natural gas prices. Shortages in Europe have pushed natural gas prices there to multi-year highs, with the benchmark Dutch gas future soaring a whopping 40 percent on Wednesday.
