Commodity market Crude Oil prices ended up lower
Oil prices ended up lower, as Europe's cold weather and hopes for better consumer demand lifted refined products futures and adding to that, geopolitical worries offset the dollar's rise and fears the Ireland bailout plan might not keep Europe's debt woes contained.
Barclays Capital analysts said in a repor said: "The southern European sovereign debt crisis would have to take a severe turn for the worse to derail positive commodity price trends that are finding strong support from improving fundamentals and positive market sentiment toward growth assets."
