Oil Prices Hit 7-Month High!

Crude Oil prices rose for a second day on increasing optimism that the world economy is emerging from recession and fuel consumption begins to recover. Crude Oil ended above $70 a barrel for the first time in seven months yesterday as the dollar weakened and traders positioned themselves ahead of the crude oil inventory data which will start to be rolled out later in the day.

Oil prices have more than doubled since February, rising with equities on signs of a rebound in the economy and expectations of fuel demand will follow higher. As a result, a release of a string of positive economic figures could help continue its bullishness. Therefore, traders are advised now to make some profits as the price of Crude Oil is set to remain volatile in the short-medium term.
