Today in Commodities
Oil, gold, and industrial metals all fade
Energy prices pull back, while grains and coffee keep climbing.
WTI crude falls 1.7% to 81.23 and Brent drops 2.8% to 85.92. Nat gas also sells off, down 3.1% to 2.68.
Refined fuels move even harder, with gasoline down 4.9% to 3.1636. The bigger energy complex still shows large gains over one month, but today’s tape is red across the board.
