Brent fell below $90 today in a volatile session halting a two week rally. Thursday’s fall came after nine straight sessions of gains in WTI and seven straight gains in Brent. “Crude futures are feeling some corrective pressure from a new high in the U.S. Dollar Index as well as more weakening economic numbers from the euro zone, where economic activity grew by 0.1% vs the 0.3% expected,” said Dennis Kissler, senior vice president of trading at BOK Financial. The dollar gained, pushing the yen to a 10-month low and driving the euro and sterling to their weakest levels in three months, as investors placed their bets on a still-resilient U.S. economy. WTI traded down $0.67 or -0.8% to close at $86.67. Brent traded down $0.68 or -0.8% to close at $89.92.
