The petroleum futures complex was little changed May 4 as the focus remained primarily on the repercussions of the US banking crisis. NYMEX front-month crude settled 4 cents lower at $68.56/b, while ICE front-month Brent settled at $72.50/b, up 17 cents. In refined products, NYMEX front-month ULSD settled 64 points higher at $2.2387/gal, while front-month RBOB settled 38 points higher at $2.3259/gal.
