Crude Oil Prices Turn Lower as the Dollar Strengthens

February WTI crude oil (CLG26) on Tuesday closed down -0.13 (-0.22%), and February RBOB gasoline (RBG26) closed up +0.0053 (+0.31%).

Crude oil and gasoline prices settled mixed on Tuesday.  Crude prices gave up an early advance and turned lower Tuesday after the dollar index (DXY00) climbed to a 1-week high.  Also, Monday evening's release of the weekly EIA inventory report was mainly bearish for crude prices.   Losses in crude were limited amid persistent geopolitical risks from Venezuela, Nigeria, and Russia.  Also, expectations that OPEC+ will stick with plans to pause further crude production increases are supportive for crude prices.
