By Myra P. Saefong
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- December crude climbed $1.60, or 2.8%, to $58.64 per barrel Monday morning on Globex, reversing course after trading as low as $55.29. "Prices turned around after a positive industrial production reading exceeded expectations," John Kilduff, an analyst at MF Global, told clients in a note. But "the dour outlook for the economy, which has affected the global capital markets, continues to be a pile-driving force on energy markets."
