Accordingly, many analysts in the energy field have predicted the likelihood of rise in oil price up to $5/gallon by coming summer in the US market.

Given the circumstances above about the oil market, draw an AS/AD diagram, which shows the effect on the US macro-economy of expected oil price @ $130+ per barrel versus the oil price at $100+ per barrel (in the beginning of 2012). In your explanation in words about the diagram, you must clearly explain the connection between changes in oil price and the fluctuations in macroeconomic fundamentals in the US economy.
