Oil Prices Hit Highest Point In Nearly Two Years

Oil prices rallied to a 22-month peak of $21 a barrel on Friday, buoyed by Nigerian supply disruption, declines in U.S. oil stockpiles and OPEC output restraint. London September futures for Britain's Brent crude touched the psychological $21 level, its highest since October 9, 1997, before dropping back to $20.88 for a 39 cent gain.
