Oil prices increase following concerns for weak dollar and Iran

World oil prices surged for the second straight day Tuesday as a weaker dollar lifted commodities and the market fretted about geopolitical tensions over Iran's nuclear program.

New York's main contract, light sweet crude for January delivery, closed at 78.37 dollars a barrel, up 1.09 dollars from Monday.

In London, Brent North Sea crude for January delivery gained 88 cents to settle at 79.35 dollars a barrel.
