February WTI crude oil (CLG25) Tuesday closed down -1.99 (-2.56%), and February RBOB gasoline (RBG25) closed down -0.0279 (-1.32%).
Crude and gasoline prices Tuesday fell to 1-week lows and closed moderately lower. Crude prices tumbled Tuesday after President Trump said Monday that he plans to declare a national energy emergency and vowed to increase US oil production. Crude is also under pressure due to trade war fears after President Trump said he may impose import tariffs as high as 25% on goods from Canada and Mexico on February 1. Tuesday's weaker dollar is supportive of crude prices.
