Oil price jumps above $60
LONDON (AFP) - The price of New York crude oil surged above 60 dollars per barrel on Tuesday, hitting a six-month high on the back of the struggling US currency, traders said.
The euro soared above 1.37 dollars on Tuesday, hitting the highest level for one and a half months. A weak greenback stimulates demand for dollar-priced crude because it becomes cheaper for buyers using stronger currencies.
