June WTI crude oil (CLM23) this morning is down -0.76 (-1.05%), and June RBOB gasoline (RBM23) is down -2.94 (-1.18%). June Nymex natural gas (NGM23) is up +0.058 (+2.65%).
Crude oil and gasoline prices this morning are moderately lower. A rally in today's dollar index to a 1-week high is undercutting energy prices. Also, demand concerns are weighing on crude prices as today's weaker-than-expected economic news from China and the U.S., the world's two biggest crude consumers, sparked fears about a slowdown in the global economy that is bearish for energy demand.
