Brent Crude Closes Above $100 as Unrest Continues in Egypt

摘要

Triple-digit oil prices are back after a break of slightly more than two years. Brent March crude futures, traded on London's InterContinental Exchange, rose $1.59 to settle at $101.01 per barrel Monday. It was the first time that Brent or Nymex crude, the world's other major futures contract, had breached the $100 mark since Sep. 30, 2008.
