With almost 14 percent of productive assets in the Gulf still idled, the approaching hurricane season will prevent prices from retreating too far.

We know that it won't be ready (on the Mississippi Gulf Coast) for this hurricane season, and there probably won't be anything in place for next hurricane season. This is a huge undertaking, and there are curves ahead yet that we don't see.

Oil and natural gas prices have fallen sharply from their post-hurricane highs. However, production from the Gulf of Mexico is still down by more than 15 percent, keeping supplies tight. As of mid-March, the national average retail price of diesel fuel was around $2.55 per gallon, 60 cents below the record set after Rita but 35 cents (16 percent) higher than a year ago.

There is a combo of factors. Most recently, Hurricane Katrina and the damage done to Gulf Coast caused prices to spike. But even prior to Katrina, prices were already higher than last year. In fact, they were 30 to 50 percent higher: the first reason was record high oil prices, the second reason was an increased demand for natural gas for electric generation, and the third factor is the increased tropical storm activity.

The national economy usually weathers these storms with relatively minor damage. Second, the hurricane is a 'supply shock' -- a disruption to productive potential -- not a 'demand shock.' The same factors that threaten growth -- higher commodity prices, shipping bottlenecks, reduced local productive capacity -- also threaten inflation.

Funds are viewing commodities such as oil and metals as investment tools, so these prices are likely to keep rising. Copper prices show no signs of retreating.

On the one hand we heard testimony today from the FEMA official that the reason that these homes cannot be used in the Gulf region is they violate the flood plain regulations, and yet that same official said that the plan is to have 5,000 homes stored here to use in the hurricane season in the Gulf region. That seems inconsistent to me.

Rio wants assets on a world class basis, and the sale is a reflection of the quality and scale of assets it wants. It has a track record of selling assets and getting good prices at the top of the market.

I think that some of the effect will be down the road, like crawfish season for next year. I think that naturally prices will be higher for a couple of reasons, fuel prices and the hurricane.
