Prompt NYMEX crude settles at low not seen since May 2003

摘要

NYMEX March crude settled $1.24 lower at $26.21/b Thursday, the lowest mark for the front-month contract since May 2003, coming under pressure from weakness in global equities and signs of rising oil inventories. ICE April Brent settled down 78 cents at $30.06/b. NYMEX March ULSD settled 42 points higher at 97.91 cents/gal, while NYMEX March RBOB settled almost unchanged, down 8 points at 94.17 cents/gal.
