Oil hits new high above $114
Oil struck a new record high above a barrel on Wednesday, buoyed by the weak dollar, inflows of speculative money and long-term constraints on supply. US crude was 53 cents higher at ,32 a barrel by 9.43am GMT, just below a fresh peak of ,41. Wednesday’s price is more than three times the average price of 2002, when oil’s rally began.
