Another day, another record ($92.79)
Another day, another record high in crude oil prices. $92.22 barely lasted one weekend. This morning, I got up, went to the office, and found myself sitting down to a new record : $92.79 per barrel Nymex crude oil delivery for Dec 2007.
This one looks dollar-driven. The news outlets are talking about the USD falling to yet another record low against the euro. At the moment of writing :
CAD/USD = 1.041667 (1.03 has been broken!)
EUR/USD = 1.4407 (1.43 has been broken!)
USD/SGD = 1.4531 (bye-bye 1.46)
SGD/MYR = 2.297297 (rising in tandem?)
The US dollar index, USDX, is at 76.894, having fallen below 77.
Compare this to the figures blogged earlier on 18 Sep 2007, barely one and a half months ago :
1. USD/SGD=1.5068 (how far the mighty have fallen)
2. SGD/MYR=2.310519
3. USD/CAD=1.0094 (notice how I've swapped around to CAD/USD nowadays!)
4. EUR/USD=1.3979 (compare & contrast!)
And the U.S. dollar index (was) : USDX=79.169
- Update : Scratch that last. The new record is :
$93.18
$93.19
$93.20
