Risk-Off Sentiment Weighs on Crude Prices as Stocks Turn Lower

June WTI crude oil (CLM23) this morning is down -0.67 (-0.93%), and June RBOB gasoline (RBM23) is down -0.29 (-0.11%).   June Nymex natural gas (NGM23) is up +0.077 (+2.97%).

Crude oil and gasoline prices this morning gave up an early advance and are moderately lower.  A risk-off sentiment weighed on crude prices today after stocks retreated from an early rally and moved lower.   Crude prices today initially climbed to a 1-week high on a weaker dollar, and economic optimism after the S&P 500 rose to a 9-month high.  However, crude prices followed stocks lower as debt-ceiling talks stalled after negotiators said bipartisan talks were on a "pause."
