NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Crude oil futures turned higher on Monday, after tumbling 8% last week, receiving a lift as the dollar came off earlier highs and amid heightened geopolitical tensions after Iran test-fired short-range missiles.
Uncertainty over supply from the Middle East is generally supportive of oil markets, said Ken Hasegawa, commodity derivatives sales manager at Newedge Japan in Tokyo.

Oil rises as data show rising gasoline demand
1.gif
By Moming Zhou, MarketWatch & Polya Lesova, MarketWatch

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Crude-oil and gasoline futures rose Wednesday, after government data showed a surprising decrease in gasoline inventories last week as demand increased and gasoline imports slumped.
Also helping futures move higher, the U.S. dollar weakened and economic data showed the U.S. gross domestic product shrank in the second quarter at a smaller pace than earlier forecast. Meanwhile, a report based on a sampling of ADP payrolls showed U.S. private-sector firms in September shed the fewest jobs since July 2008.

Nice to see Rex finally admitting biofuels having an effect--albeit with Exxon this is begrudgingly.

Here's the whole article;

U.S. gasoline demand has peaked - Exxon CEO
Fri Oct 2, 2009 4:16am BST


  • Market News
WASHINGTON, Oct 1 (Reuters) - U.S. gasoline demand peaked in 2007 and will decline into the future as efficiency and the development of biofuels and high-tech cars like hybrids speed up, Exxon Mobil Corp's (XOM.N) top executive said on Thursday.
