NYMEX crude slips ahead of US stocks data

摘要

New York-New York Mercantile Exchange Jan- uary crude oil futures settled 24 cents lower at $81.74/b November 22 in lackluster trade marked by a firm dollar and weak equities. Crude futures faltered prior to the open of floor trading in New York after the US dollar gained ground following news that Ireland was poised to accept a Eur95 billion ($1129.4 bil- lion) bailout from the European Union and International Monetary Fund.
