Seven Percent in Five Minutes - Oil Prices Spike
FT reports on the massive spike:
Escalating geopolitical tensions and tightening supply caused a jump in oil prices Wednesday, taking US crude futures to a six-month high.
The initial spike was dramatic. Traders said the oil price jumped $5 a barrel – more than 7 per cent – in just seven minutes shortly after the close of US trade on Tuesday, caused by rumours that Iran had fired a missile at a US warship in the Persian Gulf.
