Inflation worries send crude prices downward

 

Crude oil prices finished down on Thursday—so did most Oklahoma energy stocks. And for the first time in weeks, world oil prices dropped below $90 a barrel.

Inflation predictions played a role in things as analysts believe it will not bring lower U.S. interest rates. Plus, there’s the matter of whether Iran will respond to Israeli attacks in Syria.

West Texas Intermediate crude, considered the US benchmark, finished down $1.19 or 1.4% to $85.02 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Global benchmark Brent crude dropped 74 cents or 0.8% to finish at $89.74 a barrel on ICE Futures Europe.

May natural gas rose 2 cents to $1.89 per 1,000 cubic feet.
