Crude ends above $70 for first time since November

NEW YORK,lunette oakley, June 9 (Xinhua) -- Crude futures settled above 70 U.S. dollars a barrel on Tuesday, boosted by a weaker dollar and bullish U.S. government demand forecasts.

Light, sweet crude for July delivery jumped 1.92 dollars to settle at 70.01 dollars a barrel, the highest close since November, on the New York Mercantile Exchange, rallying on the news that the global demand was revised higher by the U.S. government.

In its latest Short-Term Energy Outlook released on Tuesday, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) raised its forecast for 2009 global demand by 10,000 barrels per day from its May report, which supported the notion that the recession would end this year and demand would pick up.

In London, Brent crude for July delivery rose 1.74 dollars to settle at 69.62 dollars a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange.相关的主题文章:

World Cup Play Begins

VOA News 11 June — Play has begun at the 2010 World Cup - the first ever World Cup to be held on the continent of Africa.

About 90,000 fans mostly dressed in South Africa's team colors of yellow and green, packed into the newly refurbished Soccer City stadium in Johannesburg on Friday. They watched host South Africa battle Mexico to a 1-1 draw in the first game of the 32-nation, month-long tournament. France and Uruguay play in the second game of the day.

Later in the day, France and Uruguay played to a scoreless draw at a packed stadium in Cape Town.

Earlier a spectacular opening ceremony featured singers and dancers in colorful costumes and body paint. South Africa's President Jacob Zuma and his Mexican counterpart, Felipe Calderon, sat side-by-side overlooking the festivities,Christian Louboutin Shoes, each wearing their home team's scarf.

Television cameras also showed South African Nobel laureate and retired Archbishop Desmond Tutu wearing a team jersey and dancing in the stands. He was joined in the stands by U.S. Vice President Joe Biden who is representing the United States at the tournament.

The excitement was tempered, though, by the absence of former president Nelson Mandela, who canceled a planned appearance after his great-granddaughter was killed in a car crash on her way home from Thursday's World Cup kickoff concert.

In remarks before the start of the game, President Zuma said the 91-year-old Mr. Mandela had wanted to attend but could not because of the unexpected death of his 13-year-old great-granddaughter, Zenani.

Mr. Zuma also lauded the tournament as the first ever hosted by an African nation, calling it "the African World Cup."

The World Cup is being played in 10 stadiums across South Africa, including Soccer City and Ellis Park in Johannesburg.

In addition to an automatic qualification for the host team, five African countries qualified for this year's World Cup - Ivory Coast, Ghana, Cameroon, Nigeria and Algeria.

Italy enters the World Cup as defending champion, but Spain, the reigning European champion, and five-time former world champion Brazil are considered the early favorites in South Africa.

The first World Cup football tournament was played in 1930 in Montevideo with host nation Uruguay defeating Argentina for the championship.

Intel raises sales forecast; shares jump 4%

By BARBARA ORTUTAY AP Technology Writer
NEW YORK,Ralph Lauren pas cher,Aug 28(AP) -- Intel Corp. raised its third-quarter revenue forecast above Wall Street's expectations Friday,Cheap Christian Louboutin, citing strong demand for its chips and giving another signal that business is improving for one of the world's biggest technology companies. Intel shares rose 4 percent.

The leading maker of computer microprocessors now expects sales of $8.8 billion to $9.2 billion. Its last guidance,lunettes oakley, which came July 14, was for revenue in the range of $8.1 billion to $8.9 billion.

Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters were expecting $8.55 billion in revenue before Friday.

Santa Clara, Calif.-based Intel also said it expects the quarter's gross profit margin to be in the upper half of the range it previously forecast.

Because it gets most of its revenue from selling chips that are the "brains" of personal computers,polo Ralph Lauren, Intel is indicating that PC makers are loading up on new chips faster than even it expected. While that suggests PC makers believe demand for the computers they're building will be strong, it doesn't necessarily mean they're selling briskly yet.

Intel is benefiting from the fact that PC makers had burned through a lot of their inventory,lunette oakley, instead of buying new chips,Christian Louboutin Sale, as the financial crisis worsened. Now they have to restock ahead of what they're hoping will be a healthy back-to-school and holiday season.

Consumer demand for PCs is stabilizing or improving slightly from deeply depressed levels, as shown in the latest quarterly results from the world's top two PC makers, Hewlett-Packard Co. and Dell Inc. But the PC industry is still ailing: It's on track for its worst year in nearly a decade,Cheap Louboutins, and some analysts say even Intel's better guidance doesn't mean the industry's in the clear.

Dell Inc., the world's No. 2 PC maker, said Thursday as it reported quarterly earnings it might not see a significant turnaround in spending by businesses until next year. By then, many companies will need to begin replacing older PCs that they've been hanging on to for longer than usual,oakley, and will have a new version of Windows available.

"Intel's news isn't exactly a surprise," said Ashok Kumar, an analyst with Collins Stewart. "All the ducks were lining up for a strong third quarter. Where the rubber meets the road is the December quarter."

Intel had already signaled in July that its business was on the mend after a difficult downturn. The company's second-quarter sales were well past Wall Street's expectations,Ralph Lauren, and its guidance for the current quarter was better than what analysts were predicting at the time.

"Intel was clearly being more conservative than they needed to be," said Broadpoint AmTech analyst Doug Freedman of the company's earlier outlook.

Even with the raised forecast,Christian Louboutin Outlet, Intel's sales would still fall from last year. The company's third-quarter revenue was $10.2 billion in 2008.

Intel shares rose 78 cents to close at $20.25. The stock has traded between $12.05 and $23.71 over the past year.
