November WTI crude oil (CLX25) today is down -0.30 (-0.46%), and November RBOB gasoline (RBX25) is down -0.0079 (-0.40%).
Crude oil and gasoline prices are under pressure from today's rally in the dollar index (DXY00) to a 3-week high. Also, the outlook for higher crude exports from Iraq is undercutting crude prices. In addition, today's decline in stocks has led to a risk-off sentiment in asset markets, weighing on crude prices. Today's stronger-than-expected US economic news is supportive of energy demand and is helping to limit losses in crude oil prices.
