Oil Surges to Nearly 2-Week High on Easing Omicron Fears

Oil prices settled higher on Tuesday, for their best close in nearly two weeks. Contributing to today’s pop were easing Covid-19 omicron fears, with investors now anticipating no significant impact to global economic growth, while also hoping for a robust holiday driving season. In turn, January-dated crude rose 3.7%, or $2.56, to close at $72.05 per barrel.

Gold prices finished higher as well, notching their highest settlement in more than a week. Investors are taking interest in the precious metal ahead of 2022 as a portfolio and currency hedge. As a result, February-dated gold added $5.20, or 0.4% to close at $1,784.70 per ounce.
