Crude Prices Pressured by a Stronger Dollar and Elevated Cushing Inventories

July WTI crude oil (CLN24) today is down -0.41 (-0.53%), and July RBOB gasoline (RBN24) is up -0.05 (-0.02%).

Crude oil and gasoline prices today are under pressure and fell to new 1-week lows.  Today's rally in the dollar index (DXY00) to a 1-week high is undercutting energy prices.  Crude also had a negative carryover from Wednesday when weekly EIA crude inventories unexpectedly rose, and stockpiles at Cushing, the delivery point of WTI futures, climbed to a 10-month high.  Better-than-expected global manufacturing news today supports energy demand and limits losses in crude prices.
