US economy growing faster than expected, oil prices rise to US$74

01-Feb-10
Supported by a robust growth in exports and business spending on equipment and software, the US economy grew at a healthy 5.7% annual growth rate in Q4-09, the fastest pace of growth since 2003.

Crude oil rose to US$74 on the Nymex, while Brent crude for March delivery rose to US$72.62 a barrel.
