By Moming Zhou, MarketWatch & Polya Lesova, MarketWatch

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Crude-oil rose Wednesday, as a weaker dollar boosted dollar-denominated commodities prices and as government data showed U.S. crude inventories rose by an amount less than expected last week.
Also providing support for oil prices, economic reports showed consumer sentiment rose this month, and new-home sales advanced in October.
On the New York Mercantile Exchange, crude for January delivery gained $1.05, or 1.4%, to $77.07 a barrel.

So here we are with two year treasuries down from Tuesday's record low yield of 0.802 percent to a mere .65 percent this morning. Also note that five year treasuries are at 2.01 percent, and three month treasuries yield zero percent.

This must be a symptom of the hyperinflation everyone seems to be predicting.... except in reverse.

Thanksgiving morning at about 5:00 AM (before any news reports were out on Dubai) I was trying to figure out what was going on with the futures and I penned in Yen Hits 14 Year High vs US Dollar; Nikkei Sinks ...

By Polya Lesova, MarketWatch & Moming Zhou, MarketWatch

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Crude futures dropped Friday, briefly tumbling 7% to their lowest level in seven weeks, as investors spooked by Dubai's debt troubles sold assets perceived as risky, including commodities ranging from oil to metals.
Dubai World, the city-state's largest corporate entity, on late Wednesday asked creditors for a six-month stay on repayment of $60 billion in debts. Global stocks tumbled after the news, while the U.S. dollar rose against most of its major rivals.

Stopped into 7-11 for some smokes and the tanker truck was outside topping up the tanks..I jokingly mentioned to the Cashier that he needed to lower the price of gas again, because of today's lows and all the Dubai UAE having money problems (Like, is that possible?..I mean, this place has the biggest and the baddest buildings in the world, Indoor snow ski resort in the desert, air condition sand and air at their beaches...most everyone drives Mercedes or something exotic...WTF?)...Anyways the guy said they'll be lowering the gas tonight..So there is a day to day corrilation to the price of oil.

I guess some are slower than others? We will see tomorrow. oilrig.gif
 
It's the same thing it was for the last 2 weeks here, $2.46.
Might be that it depends when they refill their tanks, at least that's when they should modify their prices, and not before.:cool:
