 Tips on Crude Oil

• Crude Oil rose significantly yesterday as the price is currently trading around the $69 level.
• The release of the U.S. Unemployment Rate data on Friday may put some strain on Oil prices as the rate is expected to rise.
• However, as optimism seems to be the leading force in the market, rising equities and a weakening Dollar may prove to have a greater affect on Oil prices than the results of the unemployment indicator.
