Oil rises after U.S. missile strike in Syria, weekly gain 3 percent

Oil prices rose on Friday, trading near a one-month high and closing the week up 3 percent after the United States fired missiles at a Syrian government air base, raising concern that the conflict could spread in the oil-rich region.

The toughest U.S. action yet in Syria's six-year-old civil war has heightened geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East. This supported oil futures, along with signs of higher U.S. demand.

"It's back to the old adage of don't go home short the weekend," said Carl Larry, oil and gas consultant at Frost and Sullivan. "There's a lot going on here: Syria and talks with China."

Big bump in gas prices. So does that somehow count in Li'l Donnie's mind as growing the economy?

Long lines at the pumps and higher gas prices always were under the republicans.
