You might want to check your facts, oil on Thursday has not reached that high. On Thursday it was around 88 dollars and only today is approaching 89 dollars. Not sure where 95 dollars is coming from?
No doubt that overall Oil is increasing thought!
There's more than one oil price actually depending on the exchange where it is sold as well as spot or future prices. The Brent spot was indeed above 90.
