Crude Settles Lower as Hurricane Beryl Misses Gulf Oil Operations

August WTI crude oil (CLQ24) on Monday closed down -0.83 (-1.00%), and Aug RBOB gasoline (RBQ24) closed down -2.12 (-0.83%).

Crude oil and gasoline prices Monday posted moderate losses.  A stronger dollar on Monday was bearish for crude prices.  Also, concerns receded that Hurricane Beryl would impede oil operations in the Gulf of Mexico after the hurricane made landfall in Texas Monday.  In addition, signs of weak energy demand in China are undercutting crude prices.  Losses in crude were limited as Monday's rally in the S&P 500 to a new record high shows confidence in the economic outlook that is positive for energy demand and crude prices.
