Oil jumps past 123 as markets rally on strong demand
Oil futures set new records near 124 a barrel amid ongoing momentum after a government report showed rising crude and gasoline supplies. Gas prices edged higher, gasoline demand rose, and distillate stocks fell unexpectedly, with analysts predicting further steep prices ahead. Consumer borrowing surged in March at a 7.2 percent annual rate, totaling 15.3 billion, signaling growing economic stress as credit card use and auto loans rose amid high fuel costs.

The White House objects, calling the measure bloated and too costly, casting doubt on final passage. Senate Agriculture Chair Tom Harkin says talks are finished though minor issues remain.
