Crude oil and gasoline prices rose sharply on Tuesday, with crude oil posting a 3-month high and gasoline climbing to an 8-week high. Tuesday's slump in the dollar index (DXY00) to a nearly 4-year low is bullish for energy prices. Crude also has support on concerns of possible US military action against Iran, which could disrupt oil supplies from OPEC's fourth-largest producer.
