Crude Prices Slip on Weakness in Equity Markets

March WTI crude oil (CLH24) this morning is down -0.33 (-0.42%), and Mar RBOB gasoline (RBH24) is down -3.80 (-1.63%).

Crude oil and gasoline prices this morning gave up overnight gains and are moderately lower.  Crude fell back from a 3-1/2 month high today as weakness in stocks undercuts economic optimism and is negative for energy demand and crude prices.  Crude initially moved higher today after the dollar index dropped to a 2-week low.  Also, oil prices have support from concerns about the possible escalation of the Israel-Hamas war to Lebanon and attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea by Yemen's Houthi rebels.
