Gasoline Advances on U.S. Labor Market Gains, Greek Debt Swap

Gasoline rose for the first time in five days as American companies hired more workers and support increased for a Greek debt swap, boosting optimism that the European economy will improve.

Futures advanced as employment rose by 216,000 last month, according to figures from ADP Employer Services. Prices extended gains on optimism that an exchange of Greek bonds will go forward, helping to contain that country’s debt crisis.
