Crude oil and gasoline prices this morning are modestly lower. A stronger dollar today is weighing on energy prices. Also, macroeconomic concerns are undercutting crude prices, with concern that a slowdown in the global economy will curb energy demand. However, losses in crude are limited by the continued halt of 400,000 bpd of Iraqi crude oil exports.
