CRUDE OIL PRICES FALL BELOW $61

The Louisiana Offshore Oil Port reopened after closing due to bad weather and that seems to have forced oil prices downward. As of 5:00 a.m. Friday, light-sweet crude is trading at $60.10 per barrel. While the oil port was closed, 3.3 million barrels of oil could not be offloaded, causing a temporary reduction in oil inventories and a spike in price to over $61.
