(Kitco News) – Nymex crude oil futures prices are lower in early U.S. trading today. Crude prices are still in a near-term uptrend. It appears Nymex oil prices are stuck in a trading range between $40.00 and $50.00 a barrel. Meantime, the other key outside market finds the U.S. dollar index firmer and hovering not far above last week’s seven-week low. World stock markets were narrowly mixed in quieter trading overnight. U.S. stock indexes are pointed toward firmer openings when the New York day session begins.
