The Euro rally saw the US dollar decline, thus helping push the price of oil north once again. The dollar index pulled back as the Euro moved to one month highs versus the greenback. Despite inventories rising for 10 consecutive weeks, the price of oil has broken through the recent resistance levels, and has held its own over $85n for the past few sessions.
