        <Name>Oil Prices Stabilise</Name>
        <Summary>Oil futures back around $35 a barrel</Summary>
        <Description>&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;Right now, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;oil prices are back around $35 a barrel&lt;/span&gt;. Economic news has made it difficult for oil to stabilise, much less start making ground in commodities trading.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" /&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;However, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;oil prices&lt;/span&gt; are far from out of the woods. It is expected that the &lt;a href="http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/story.aspx?guid={13FD0F2B-5390-4D08-9BA4-C92041F721C7}&amp;siteid=rss" target="_blank" title="oil prices, U.S. stock market, spread bets, CFDs, spread betting, contracts for differences, oil futures, futures trading, spread bets oil, commodities"&gt;U.S. stock market will actually play a large roll in oil's recovery&lt;/a&gt;, reports MarketWatch:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" /&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div style="margin-left: 40px; font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&amp;quot;The &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;U.S. stock market&lt;/span&gt; will be key to watch, as equities are
precariously poised at current levels,&amp;quot; said Edward Meir, an analyst at
MF Global. &amp;quot;Should we test the November intraday lows, and fail to
bounce off it, we could see another leg lower in both stock and
commodity markets.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;Indeed, the &lt;a href="item/226644" target="_blank" title="oil prices, U.S. stock market, spread bets, CFDs, spread betting, contracts for differences, oil futures, futures trading, spread bets oil, commodities"&gt;U.S. stock market &lt;/a&gt;is likely to serve as a barometer, measuring sentiment toward &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;economic stimulus&lt;/span&gt;, and whether recent measures taken by the government are working.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;</Description>
