Oil, Bonds Rally, Stocks Retreat as Mideast Unrest Intensifies |
Bloomberg - Feb. 22, 2011 - By Stephen Kirkland and Rita Nazareth
Oil surged, touching a two-year high, while stocks fell the most in three weeks and Treasuries and the Swiss franc gained as anti-government violence escalated in Libya. New Zealand’s currency weakened against all of its major peers after a magnitude 6.3 earthquake.
Oil for March delivery rose as much as 9.6 percent from the Feb. 18 close to $94.49 a barrel and traded 6.5 percent higher at 11:34 a.m. in New York. The MSCI World Index fell 1 percent, the most since Jan. 28, and the Bloomberg GCC 200 Index of Persian Gulf shares sank to a five-month low. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index lost 1.1 percent. Ten-year Treasury yields slid four basis points. The franc rose 0.6 percent versus the dollar.
Protests in the Middle East are driving oil prices higher, stoking concern inflation will accelerate. At least 250 people died in the Libyan capital Tripoli overnight as violence spread in the nation with Africa’s largest oil reserves, al-Jazeera reported. China told banks to recalculate capital levels to account for higher risk weightings on some loans as it seeks to curb lending, two people with knowledge of the matter said.
“If oil continues to rise and the dots get connected beyond Libya, then you can set yourself up for a setback in stocks,” said David Sowerby, a Bloomfield Hills, Michigan-based money manager at Loomis Sayles & Co., which oversees $150 billion. “People are going to wait and see what type of unrest there is in the largest producing oil countries. Risk aversion is going to be everybody’s assessment.”
Oil Rallies
Oil traded earlier at the highest since October 2008 on the New York Mercantile Exchange before paring gains, while brent crude climbed as much as 2.7 percent to $108.57 on the ICE Futures Europe exchange.
