Oil Prices top $111 a barrel
By Claudia Assis and Polya Lesova, MarketWatch
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Crude-oil futures pushed past $111 a barrel Wednesday after a weekly inventories report showed an unexpected supply decline and the dollar weakened.
Crude for June delivery /quotes/comstock/21n!f:cl\m11 CLM11 +2.50% gained $2.98, or 2.8%, to $111.28 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. A close around that level would be oil’s highest since April 8.
