January WTI crude oil (CLF24) this morning is up +1.93 (+2.58%), and Jan RBOB gasoline (RBF24) is up +0.0578 (+2.69%).
Crude oil and gasoline prices this morning are moderately higher. Today's slump in the dollar index (DXY00) to a 3-1/2 month low is bullish for energy prices. Crude prices also garnered support today from dovish Fed comments and stronger-than-expected global economic news that is positive for energy demand. A bearish factor for crude is the ongoing dispute among Saudi Arabia and other OPEC+ members on crude production levels.
