Oil climbed the most in two months as the euro rose against the dollar and tension between Syria and Turkey fanned concern that Middle East output will be disrupted.

Prices jumped $3.57, erasing almost all of yesterday’s $3.75 loss. The euro advanced to a two-week high after European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said the common currency is “irreversible.” Turkey’s parliament authorized the government to order military action in Syria. A mortar bomb fired across the border yesterday killed five Turks.
