FLIRTING WITH 13K: For the second day this week, the Dow Jones industrial average nudged above 13,000 then pulled back. The Dow dropped 1.74 points to close at 12,982.95.
OIL UP: Oil prices hit a nine-month high of $109.77 a barrel. Oil has jumped 10 percent this month amid rising concerns about a conflict with Iran.
