How do speculators effect the price of oil?

Speculators by oil futures. Basically, they say 'I will buy oil from you at X price on this date." Sounds harmless, right? Well, what they *actually* do is this: A barrel of oil is worth $90 right now. I bet it is going to be worth $95 in 10 minutes. So, I'll buy a future's contract for oil for $95 to be concluded in 4 hours. The market then catches wind that someone is willing to pay $5 more per barrel, and everyone raises their prices. Who wins? The speculator who bought oil at $95 a barrel when, by those few hours later, it is selling at $97 a barrel. Who loses? The consumer. It's borderline illegal!
