Traders conduct business in the oil trading pit as the price of oil eases its way towards $100 per barrel at the New York Mercantile Exchange on January 3, 2008 in New York City. The price briefly hit $100 per barrel yesterday as the U.S. dollar weakened and violence in Nigeria, a major oil exporter, increased. (UPI Photo/Monika Graff)
