May WTI crude oil (CLK23) this morning is down -0.11 (-0.15%), and May RBOB gasoline (RBJ23) is down -4.034 (-1.50%).  April Nymex natural gas (NGJ23) is down -0.020 (-0.99%).

Crude oil and gasoline prices this morning fell back from 2-week highs and turned lower on concerns of a slowing economy.  Weekly EIA distillate stockpiles unexpectedly declined, which signaled lackluster diesel demand and weakness in trucking and manufacturing demand, signs of a slowing economy.  A stronger dollar today is also weighing on energy prices.  Crude prices today initially rose to a 2-week high after weekly EIA crude inventories unexpectedly declined.
