Oil Ends At Lowest Level Since April 2009

Oil futures ended lower Friday, building on a sharp 2014 slide as traders weighed a surging U.S. dollar and a global supply glut. Nymex WTI crude for February delivery lost 58 cents, or 1.1%, to close at $52.69 a barrel, the lowest finish for a most-active contract since April 2009, according to FactSet. Nymex crude dropped 46% in 2014.
