• Oil Prices Declining for 2nd Straight Day
  U.S. crude futures fell 1.3% to $81.46 a barrel and are more than 2% lower so far...

  U.S. crude futures fell 1.3% to $81.46 a barrel and are more than 2% lower so far this week amid disappointing economic data out of China in recent days. Brent crude fell 1% to $85.31.

  
  

  "After a nice seven-week rally, oil was ripe for a pullback," says Oanda's Edward Moya in a note. "If China doesn't get some major stimulus, global growth concerns won't be going away anytime soon. The oil market is likely to remain tight, but if China jitters intensify, Brent crude could still drop a few dollars."

  
  

  Oil investors now turn their attention to weekly reports on U.S. oil inventories, first from trade group API at 4:30 pm ET, and followed by official EIA data tomorrow morning.
