Oil markets were twitchy about the closure of the Grangemouth refinery in Scotland and a dispute affecting Nigerian oil output, prices came within a whisker of $120 a barrel. The president of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec), the Algerian energy minister Chakib Khelil, added to the mix by suggesting that the price could hit $200 as investors fled the weak dollar. As it turned out, prices spent much of last week slipping back, dropping to just above $110. But on Friday they were up again, responding to Turkish airstrikes on Kurdish rebels. Oil is a great barometer of international tension.
