Currently, only two of the 15 foreign indices that we track are currently in positive territory. The average return for the collective stood at minus 0.502. It's the same story around the world this morning, as rising crude prices are putting pressure on our overseas trading partners. In early trading, black gold flirted with the $60 level once again, but has since pulled back to hover slightly lower. In Europe, airline stocks were getting hammered. British Airways dropped lower after the airline raised its fuel charge for the fourth time since May 2004. British Airways said that its fuel bill for the year will be more than 450 million pounds higher. Futures are headed slightly higher in early trading this morning. While the economic calendar will present us with May durable goods orders and new home sales data, it may be all the newswires can do to pull traders focus away from crude prices today. The August contract on sweet crude oil jumped 2.29 percent in trading yesterday, backing off from its intraday high of 60. The contract continues to ride the support of its 10-day moving average higher. In early trading, crude-oil futures rose 41 cents to $59.83 a barrel and reached as high at $60.

The development came on speculation that interest rates in Britain and the Eurozone will soon be cut, tempting investors to buy US debt instead. But it's likely that high oil prices and their subsequent negative effect on US economic growth could also be making government bonds more popular. In Europe, British Prime Minister issued a stark warning to the EU on Thursday: "Modernize or fail." With the UK set to take over the rotating six-month EU presidency on July 1, Blair, the self- described "passionate pro-European," outlined his plans and appealed for a "frank exchange of ideas" in achieving that. Saying that Europe is, "in the midst of a profound debate about it future," Blair called for greater political and economic reform and integration, with his comments met by a dose of both strong applause and hearty jeering. Citing the rejection of the EU Constitution by French and Dutch voters, Blair said the Union is currently faced with a "crisis in political leadership" and is doomed to fail unless swift change is implemented so that Europe can "recover its strength, relevance and idealism". One such change involves the controversial EU budget -- a massive 40% of which is spent on agriculture, with France receiving one- quarter of the 44 billion euro subsidies. Blair recently angered French counterpart Jacques Chirac for refusing to relinquish Britain's annual �3 billion rebate unless the subsidy arrangement is reformed. Because of that, some have accused Blair of trying to destroy the EU -- an odd viewpoint, considering that stubbornness and refusal to reform must be shelved if the EU hopes to compete politically and economically with the US and China. Having been in place since the 1950s, even French newspaper Le Monde called on Chirac to embrace a "progressive renationalization" of farm policy, saying its current share of aid "isn't justified in an enlarged Europe". Blair isn't calling for immediate, sweeping reform -- simply steady change over time that produces "a more rational budget."
