Crude Prices Climb on Dollar Weakness and Expected End of US Government Shutdown

December WTI crude oil (CLZ25) on Tuesday closed up +0.91 (+1.51%), and December RBOB gasoline (RBZ25) closed up +0.0409 (+2.07%).

Crude oil and gasoline prices rallied on Tuesday, with crude posting a 1-week high and gasoline posting a 6-week high.  Tuesday's decline in the dollar index (DXY00) to a 1.5-week low is bullish for energy prices.   Crude also has support amid expectations that the US government will reopen later this week, which would support economic growth and energy demand.
