Oil Prices Retreat on Encouraging Jobs Data
By Timothy Puko And Georgi Kantchev
Oil prices fell after stronger-than-expected gains in U.S. employment sent the dollar to new highs and raised expectations for interest-rate increases.
December crude oil settled down 91 cents, or 2%, to $44.29 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent, the global benchmark, lost 56 cents, or 1.2%, to $47.42 a barrel on ICE Futures Europe.
U.S. prices fell more than 1% in the minutes immediately after new data showed that U.S. nonfarm payrolls rose a seasonally adjusted 271,000 in October, nearly 50% more than expected.
