The new normal for oil


U.S. crude's West Texas Intermediate futures settled down 21 cents, or 0.5 percent, at $42.92 a barrel. It extended losses after the release of the API data, sliding more than 1 percent. During the session, WTI fell to as low as $42.36 earlier, its lowest since April 20. Brent rose 15 cents, or 0.3 percent, to settle at $44.87 a barrel, and turned negative after the API data. During the session, Brent fell to $44.14, its lowest since May 10. Brent's premium to WTI reached its highest since late April as investors bet the U.K. benchmark will continue rallying against its U.S. rival.
