Oil climbs above $75 as
world
demand grows |
|
 |
NEW YORK —
Oil rose slightly yesterday, inching
over $75 a barrel despite a stronger dollar, in seesaw trade inspired by
gains on Wall Street due to positive job numbers and news of a rescue plan
for Greece. US crude for March delivery rose 67 cents to $75.19 a barrel by
12:51 pm EST (17:51 GMT). London Brent crude rose 79 cents to $73.33.
“Basically, prices were following the dollar earlier and then when equities
started to rally, that brought in some buying,” said Peter Beutel,
president, Cameron Hanover, New Canaan, Connecticut. |
