January WTI crude oil (CLF25) Thursday closed down -0.27 (-0.38%), and January RBOB gasoline (RBF25) closed up +0.0027 (+0.14%).
Crude oil and gasoline prices Thursday fell back from 2-1/2 week highs and settled mixed. Thursday's rally in the dollar index (DXY00) to a 2-week high weighed on energy prices. Also, Thursday's monthly report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) was bearish for crude as the IEA projects a global oil glut next year.
