    It's all about supply and demand. At present, due to the Iraq war and the relatively risky Middle East, oil supplies are unstable and could be cut, hence driving up demand.

    Also, news such as Iran starting to sell its oil in Euros instead of dollars has relatively increased oil prices per dollar.
