Daily Oil Report Monday 23rd November 2009

23 November 2009 @ 07:32 am EDT

The continued decline in the value of the US dollar pushed oil higher in the trading session. It will be interesting to note if we regain the $80 level, but whilst it is the dollar playing a major role, news emanating from the middle east is helping to underpin the price. Iranian defence moves may lead to escalated tensions in the region.
