Rising stocks weigh on prices

摘要

Crude prices fell following a rise in US crude stocks and amid weaker-than- expected Chinese economic growth. Expectations of tighter US monetary policy boosted the value of the dollar, with potential oil demand impacts for non- dollar economies. US benchmark December WTI fell by 97￠/bl to $81.12/bl, while Atlantic basin marker North Sea Dated fell by 6￠/bl to $85.85/bl.
