Nov WTI crude oil and gasoline prices this morning shook off early losses and are moderately higher after Russia banned gasoline and diesel exports, further tightening global fuel supplies.

Also, concern that the Fed will keep interest rates higher for longer hammered stocks and undercut confidence in the economic outlook, which is negative for energy demand.
