the region advanced. The pound fetched $1.6180 as a U.K.

Crude oil finished higher on Tuesday, erasing morning losses and
defying a stronger dollar. Earlier in the session, black gold
ticked lower after the Organization of Petroleum Exporting
Countries greed to maintain current output quotas. However,
surprisingly strong housing data, combined with the expectation for
another dip in domestic stockpiles ahead of the government's weekly
inventories report, helped oil turn reverse course in afternoon
activity. By the close, crude oil for February delivery added 68
cents, or 0.92%, to settle at $74.40 per barrel.
