Oil Prices Gain as Dollar Retreats
By Alison Sider
Crude-oil prices flipped from losses to gains Tuesday, pivoting around the $50 mark, as the dollar retreated and market participants continued to evaluate OPEC's proposed production cuts.
U.S. crude for November rose 35 cents, or 0.7%, to $50.29 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent, the global benchmark, gained 16 cents, or 0.31%, at $51.68 a barrel on ICE Futures Europe.
Hedge funds and other big money managers have increased their bets that oil prices will rise since the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries announced an agreement to cut production in late September. Crude also got a boost from the weaker dollar. The WSJ Dollar Index was down 0.21%.
