Crude Hits Yearly High

The price of Crude Oil hit its yearly high during yesterday's trading as gains in equity markets and heightened optimism helped rally the commodity's price. An improvement in the global economy will help to boost the demand for energy consumption, adding to the price of Crude Oil. The S&P 500 finished the day in positive territory for the current year, and the weakness of the Dollar has helped to support Crude prices. The price of Crude Oil closed yesterday at $54.00 from $53.20.

Further consensus that the economy is set for a rebound may continue to support the price of Crude Oil. During today's trading we could see a slight pullback below the $54 mark as traders may be inclined to book profits. However, tomorrow's Crude Oil Inventories report could send the price back above this level, perhaps breaking the $55 resistance line.
