September WTI crude oil (CLU23) this morning is down -0.18 (-0.22%), and Sep RBOB gasoline (RBU23) is up +1.57 (+0.57%).
Crude oil and gasoline prices this morning are mixed. Bearish factors include a stronger dollar and an increase in Iranian crude exports. In addition, weakness in China's economy, the world's second-largest, threatens to curb its energy demand and is bearish for crude. Losses in crude are contained by tightness in global crude supplies.
