Are you paying attention? Have you seen the stock prices of BP, SLB, HAL, OIH. Those are all share of oil service industries and have been hit hard.
Oil prices have fallen as the European woes continue which will effect demand in a negative way. The gulf spill will effect providers by hampering future business with additional regulations. It has little effect on supply. If anything it will make us look at alternate fuel more seriously, and that drives down the price of oil.
Tiarta
Mainly because the oil spill will probably only directly affect big oil companies, in that they will have PR fallout from this for a while and possibly additional regulation going forward.
Once the government clarifies if or how it will increase regulation, then the stock prices of the affected companies will react based on the expected impact to future earnings and the likelihood that the proposed regulations become law.
WRG
Because the government hasn't yet started reacting by passing laws that will effect the market. If it looks like they are about to hang on.
The spill itself (the lost oil) is insignificant as far as the price of oil. What will increase the price is the way the US Government reacts.
Fred Claus
Regulations and the governments reactions will play a bigger role.
The amount of oil being spilt is too small to affect supply at all.
This ban on drilling domestically might change commodity prices.
David H
Because it isn't affecting the supply of oil very much.

Because while it's a very large amount of oil in terms of an environmental disaster, it's a very small fraction of the oil America consumes on a daily basis. Think of it this way, if you had an olympic size swimming pool and you took a five gallon bucket of water out and poured it on your couch, your couch would be ruined but you wouldn't worry about having enough water to swim in.

Look at the BP's stock since April 20th, the day of the explosion.
