RARE PHOTOS: Crude prices edge lower on energy demand concerns | Rare Historical Photos

March WTI crude oil (CLH26) on Tuesday closed down -0.40 (-0.62%), and March RBOB gasoline (RBH26) closed down -0.0263 (-1.32%).

Crude oil and gasoline prices settled lower on Tuesday after US retail sales in December unexpectedly stagnated, a sign of weakness in consumer spending that is bearish for economic growth and energy demand.  Losses in crude were limited on Tuesday after the dollar index  ($DXY) fell to a 1-week low.  Also, US-Iran tensions are adding a risk premium to crude prices.
