Oil Prices and the U.S. Dollar

U.S. dollar often moves inversely to oil prices

With U.S. dollar heading a bit lower today, oil prices are finally getting a boost. They began stabilizing yesterday, and today are heading higher. Oil prices often move inversely to the U.S. dollar, and with the greenback down in currency trading, oil is getting a little help.

Another thing helping oil prices are stocks (which also often move opposite the greenback). With the stock market trying a bit of a rally right now, and with the dollar down in forex trading, oil prices just might find some purchase to move a little higher.
