Oil rises to new high for 2009

Oil prices on Thursday set a new high for the year, buoyed by a weaker dollar, the first drop in unemployment numbers since January, and renewed expectations that crude will extend its rally this year.

Benchmark crude for July delivery was up $3.35 to $69.47 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Oil climbed as high as $69.56 earlier in the day.

Oil prices, which have rallied for three months, soared this week to their highest levels since November. Crude now fetches nearly twice its February price, mostly on the expectation that the dismal U.S. economy could be stabilizing.
