Oil ended slightly lower as a stronger dollar overcame a larger than expected drop in inventories.  Crude inventories fell 2.8 million barrels, gasoline stocks rose 700,000 barrels, and distillates rose 2.2 million barrels.

 

The U.S. dollar index rose and treasuries fell on better than expected economic data that sent the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P modestly higher.

 

Among the big names making news in the market today were AOL, BP, Toyota, and Time Warner.
