Crude Rallies on Dollar Weakness and China's Interest Rate Cut

July WTI crude oil (CLN23) this morning is up +1.56 (+2.29%), and July RBOB gasoline (RBN23) is up +6.80 (+2.66%).  July Nymex natural gas (NGN23) is up +0.191 (+8.16%).

Crude oil and gasoline prices this morning are moderately higher.  A slump in the dollar index today to a 4-week low is bullish for energy prices.  Crude also found support on today's action by the PBOC to lower interest rates, which may revive economic growth and energy demand in China.  In addition, today's rally in the S&P 500 to a 13-3/4 month high shows confidence in the economic outlook that is supportive of energy demand.
