Crude oil futures soared to all-time record highs in New York as markets were roiled by news of missile launches by North Korea and tensions over Iran, dealers said.
New York's main contract, light sweet crude for delivery in August, leapt 1.26 dollars to a record closing high of 75.19 dollars a barrel. Prices soared as high as 75.40 dollars a barrel, an all-time intraday record.
That topped the prior record close of 75.17 dollars and intraday record of 75.35 dollars a barrel, both set on April 21.
Trading of light, sweet crude was suspended on Monday and Tuesday because of the US Independence Day holiday. Brent North Sea crude for August delivery jumped 1.46 dollars to 73.98 dollars per barrel in closing trades in London on Wednesday, approaching its all-time record of 74.97.
