Weekly outlook for crude oil: February 20 - 24
Forexpros - Crude oil prices rallied for a fifth day on Friday, settling at a nine-month high amid hopes that a deal on a second bailout for Greece is imminent, while persistent concerns over a disruption to Iranian oil supplies and renewed optimism in the U.S. economy boosted prices higher. On the New York Mercantile Exchange, light sweet crude futures for delivery in March settled at USD103.91 a barrel by close of trade on Friday, rallying 4.4% over the week. The March contract is due to expire at the end of trading on Tuesday, February 21. Meanwhile, the more actively traded contract for April delivery settled at USD104.28 a barrel by close of trade Friday, surging 4.45% on the week. It was the highest settlement price since May 11, 2011. Crude prices jumped to a nine-month high on Friday as market sentiment found support amid optimism that an agreement on a second bailout for Greece worth EUR130 billion would be reached at Monday's meeting of euro zone finance ministers. Without a bailout, Greece faces the threat of defaulting when a EUR14.5 billion bond redemption comes due on March 20.
