LONDON (Reuters) - Oil surged beyond $90 to a new peak on Friday as tight fuel stocks ahead of winter and a softening dollar spurred investor buying.
U.S. crude gained 33 cents to $89.80 a barrel by 6:43 a.m. EDT, having hit an all-time high of $90.07 minutes earlier. London Brent crude edged down 6 cents to $84.54.
Oil's rally -- which has seen six straight days of record highs for U.S. crude -- has been fuelled by unprecedented weakness in the dollar, a factor that has supported all dollar-denominated commodities.
The greenback fell to a new record low against the euro on Friday, knocked by sentiment that weak U.S. economic and financial market indicators may force another interest rate cut.
