Crude oil rallied alongside other commodities and the euro to its highest in three months last week on NYMEX, mostly from market's expectation of new Euro Zone bailouts, and a third round of quantitative easing from the U.S. Fed.
Crude oil had continued the uptreand after the Energy Dept. reported a decrease of U.S. oil inventory by 5.4 million barrels in the week of last Friday. Scanning the news, you are likely to see quotes such as "The [EIA inventory] report is relatively supportive," and "Supply concerns persist due to Iran dispute, Syria tension."

Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.
