Oil price hits 15-month high
Oil prices climbed to a 15-month high above $83 a barrel on Monday, as data showing China's crude oil imports surged by nearly 25% in December and the US dollar weakened, Reuters has reported. US crude for February delivery rose 67 cents to $83.42 a barrel by 0958 GMT, off an earlier peak of $83.67, the highest price since October 2008.
