second-biggest city and battled for energy infrastructure, including the
nation’s largest refinery. U.S. planes may bomb northern Iraq, Oil Minister

Iraq development is the main driver for oil prices today and increases
nervousness over the security of supply from the country,” Carsten Fritsch, an
analyst at Commerzbank AG in Frankfurt, said by phone today. The possibility of
U.S. intervention in Iraq “is another sign of how desperate the situation is
and how weak the government has become.”

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
