"Pump prices continue to trend cheaper for most motorists across the country, though the rate at which they are declining slowed in the last week with a handful of states only seeing a nickel decline at the most," said Jeanette Casselano, AAA spokesperson. "Demand recorded at a surprising all-time high, but it is expected to drop in the coming weeks as summer comes to an unofficial end."
Crude Oil
At the close of Friday's formal trading session on the NYMEX, WTI increased by 40 cents to settle at $54.87. Crude prices rose at the end of last week after sustaining heavy losses for two days. The losses came as a result of continued market worries about crude demand slumping this fall as a result of the ongoing trade dispute between the United States and China, the world's two largest oil consuming countries. If the trade dispute continues this week, crude prices may see further declines.
