New York-New York Mercantile Exchange June crude oil futures settled 10 cents higher at $112.86/b April 28, in a volatile trading session marked by US dollar weakness. Earlier, June crude futures rallied to an intra-session high of $113.97/b as the contract attempted to break resistance at $114.05/b reached on April 11, but failed as the US Dollar Index on ICE pushed off a low of 72.871-its weakest level since July 2008.
