Oil Notches Yet Another Weekly Win
Oil rose today, but similar to the broader market, pared stronger gains in the afternoon. Crude for November delivery rose 40 cents, or 0.5%, to settle at $90.03 per barrel. For the week, black gold notched its 11th win in 13 weeks.
Gold prices rallied for the day to help ease some of yesterday's steep drop, but still saw a small weekly loss. December-dated gold dropped $6, or 0.3% to close at $1,946.20 an ounce on the day.
