The point I would make is that the speculation is _on_ demand. Current demand and anticipated future demand (and, hence, speculation) are both crucial for explaining changes in oil prices. The market has been exceptionally volatile recently and this can be explained, in large part, by increased uncertainty over oil prices and this heightened uncertainty is the perfect breeding ground for increased speculation.
