Crude Oil Breaches the $67 line.

Crude Oil is traded near six month high as a barrel of Crude Oil is currently valued for over $65.

Crude Oil was boosted from the weak Dollar, as many other commodities such as Gold reacted in similar ways to the weakening USD. The one thing that these commodities have in common is that they are all valued in Dollars, and as such, when a dramatic change in the Dollar value itself takes place it usually has an immediate impact on commodities such as Crude Oil as well.

In addition, it seems that the summer is supporting oil's prices as well. As the vacation season begins, more and more air flight companies which were under the risk of filing for bankruptcy, are reporting higher than expected profits, stimulating them to expand their business activity, and therefore dramatically elevate the demand for oil. For as long as demand rises, and the USD depreciated, the prices of Crude Oil could reach higher, maybe even $70 a barrel.

Looking ahead to this week, traders should follow the main news from the U.S economy, as the changes of the Dollar will surely continue to dominant oil's fluctuations. And if the USD will expand its free fall, don't be surprised if a barrel of oil will reach $70.
