Oil End of Day Summary: Crude Set for Lowest Close Since July

WTI saw a sharp fall since July and is set for its lowest close since the middle of July after a bearish demand outlook began to weight on prices. A slightly stronger dollar and a possible further relaxation in Russia’s export ban of some products is adding further downside.
