« U.S. Dollar Firmer Early | Main | U.S. Dollar Resumes Weaker Ways »

Crude Oil Pushes Above $125.00 Overnight

Friday, May 9--Jim Wyckoff's Morning Web Log

OVERNIGHT/EARLY MORNING DEVELOPMENTS

The market feature in overnight/early morning trading today is solidly higher crude oil prices that hit a new all-time record high of $125.98 overnight.

* JIM'S MARKET THOUGHT OF THE DAY *

Today's record high crude prices and weaker U.S. dollar will likely prompt a fresh surge of buying interest in the commodity markets today. Corn set a new all-time record high in overnight trading. Crude oil still could be in a "blow-off top" stage, whereby prices make a strong push higher and then put in at least a near-term market top.--Jim
