Arabs hike crude oil prices higher by seven percent
United Arab Emirates and Qatar raised prices for light crude by about 7 percent with Saudi Arabia expected to follow. Premium low sulphur crude rose to 15.12 dollars per 42 gallon barrel from 14.10, possibly lifting U S gasoline by about a cent per gallon amid Iranian field closures driving spot prices to near 20 dollars. Local officials dispute broader impact noting producers may gain more and the rise may be small overall.
