Also, concerns about China's economy are undercutting crude prices after China's July exports and imports fell more than expected. In addition, concern about the health of the U.S. banking sector is hammering stocks today and undercutting confidence in the economic outlook, which is bearish for energy demand and crude prices. Tightness in global oil supplies is limiting losses in crude prices.
