June WTI crude oil (CLM23) on Monday closed up +1.07 (+1.53%), and June RBOB gasoline (RBM23) closed up +4.18 (+1.72%).
Crude oil and gasoline prices Monday shook off early losses and closed moderately higher. A weaker dollar Monday gave energy prices a boost along with expectations for U.S. fuel demand to increase this Memorial Day holiday. However, gains in crude were limited as the ongoing U.S. debt-ceiling negotiations inject a risk-off sentiment in asset markets.
