Phil Flynn: Oil Prices Rise On Leaked Information

That is right! The jobs report was leaked causing a rally in the stock market! Who got their hands on this valuable inside information and leaked it to the marketplace at large?

Do you think he knows something?

The AP reported, “May marked the seventh straight month of year-over-year sales increases for the auto industry. Ford Motor Co., General Motors Co., and Chrysler Group L.L.C. saw double digit sales gains over the same month last year, when GM was headed into bankruptcy, joining Chrysler”.....Read the entire article.
