Oil Is Fast Approaching $70. Is The Economy Ready for It?

Oil prices are headed toward $70 a barrel, a weight on the U.S. economy that is bearable for now but could pose trouble if prices keep climbing.
The last time U.S. oil prices were at $70, in 2014, they were in the middle of a steep collapse. Many investors believed then that prices would soon stabilize, or even recover. Instead, they continued to plunge, eventually hitting a bottom in 2016 at $26. That tumble caused acute pain for oil producers, whose troubles rippled out into stocks, bonds and the broader economy.
This year’s rally is a sign of how much has changed in a few years. Global growth has picked up, while U.S. unemployment has fallen. A gambit by the world’s largest oil producers to cut production has been succeeding in eliminating a massive glut, with help from soaring demand. [more]

Explosion at Wisconsin oil refinery leaves at least 20 people injured
Superior, Wisconsin-- At least 20 people were reportedly injured at an oil refinery in Wisconsin on Thursday after a tank containing crude oil or asphalt suddenly exploded with a force that witnesses said rattled the air like a "sonic boom."
The explosion broke out at Husky Energy oil refinery in Superior, Wis., the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported.
The Superior Police Department tweeted civilians should stay away from the area due to a "large incident." WDIO reported workers were being evacuated from the building. The fire was previously said to be out but the Superior Police Department said the blaze has reignited and have asked people to stay away from the area. So far residents have not been asked to evacuate the area.
