Crude oil spikes back above $60 a barrel
Crude oil prices are back above $60 a barrel for the first time since December.
In early trade on Tuesday, the price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil was up about 2% to above $60 a barrel for the first time in about 5 months as prices have continued to creep higher after WTI hit a low of $43 back in March.
Brent crude oil, the international benchmark, is trading at around $67 a barrel.
The latest rally in crude comes after Saudi Arabia's oil minister Ali Al-Naimi said that oil prices aren't set by OPEC or anyone else in the market, saying that oil prices are "up to Allah."
Here's the price of WTI on Tuesday.
