April WTI crude oil (CLJ24) this morning is down -0.62 (-0.79%), and Apr RBOB gasoline (RBJ24) is down -4.64 (-1.79%).
Crude oil and gasoline prices this morning gave up an early advance and are moderately lower, with crude falling from a 3-1/2 month high on a bearish weekly EIA inventory report. Also, today's rally in the dollar index to a 1-week high is weighing energy prices. Crude prices today initially moved higher due to ongoing tensions in the Middle East and expectations that OPEC+ next week will decide to extend roughly 2 million bpd of crude production cuts beyond March.
