U.S. oil prices surged to 28-month highs as tensions continue to mount in Syria. On the New York Mercantile Exchange, light, sweet crude oil for October delivery closed at $110.53 a barrel, the highest since May 3, 2011. Comments made by Russian President Vladimir Putin pledging to continue to supply weapons and humanitarian aid to Syria raised heightened concerns of a potential supply disruption. "As long as a U.S. Syrian attack remains in an anticipatory phase, the crude benchmarks will remain highly sensitized to even modest tidbits of bullish news," said Jim Ritterbusch, president of Ritterbusch & Associates.
