Oct WTI crude oil (CLV24) Tuesday closed down -1.89 (-2.44%), and Oct RBOB gasoline (RBV24) closed down -3.73 (-1.75%).
Crude oil and gasoline prices settled moderately lower on Tuesday. Crude prices came under pressure Tuesday after Goldman Sachs cut its 2025 Brent crude forecast to $77 a barrel from a prior estimate of $82 per barrel. Tuesday's slump in the crude crack spread to a 3-1/2 year low is another bearish factor for crude prices. In addition, an increase in Russian crude exports is negative for crude prices.
