Crude oil prices finished higher due to a weaker dollar and optimism about Chinese energy demand. The October WTI crude oil closed up by 0.61 (+0.68%), and the Oct RBOB gasoline closed down by 3.46 (-1.26%). Crude oil and gasoline prices settled with mixed results, as crude oil reached a 10-1/4 month high. The weakness of the dollar on Friday supported energy prices. Additionally, stronger-than-expected economic news contributed to the positive sentiment in the market.
