Daily Oil Report Wednesday 20th January 2010

By IBTimes Staff Reporter | January 20 2010 3:46 AM

Oil edged higher as a rally in the stock market helped buoy investor confidence. These gains helped take the edge off a rise in the USD, which gained on the back of outflows from the Euro, mainly based on concerns surrounding the state of the Greek economy. Another factor that helped push oil higher was OPEC leaving their 2010 global demand levels unchanged.
