“Oil Crosses $130 a Barrel for First Time
Crude prices touch fresh trading high as supply worries mount, dollar weakens.
Oil prices rose above $130 a barrel for the first time Wednesday as supply concerns mounted and the dollar weakened.
U.S. crude for July delivery traded as high as $130.25 a barrel in electronic trading. The July contract closed at $128.98 in the floor session.
The dollar had become less of a factor as attention turned to supply and demand concerns, but that seems to have changed this week.
