Oil futures end lower but pare decline
Oil futures ended with a loss but off session lows on Monday. West Texas Intermediate crude for September delivery on the New York Mercantile Exchange ended 43 cents lower at $67.20 a barrel, a drop of 0.6%, after trading as low as $65.71. Weakness was tied to a report showing a pickup in OPEC oil production last month and a private forecast for a rise in crude stored at the U.S. futures delivery hub, as well as a stronger dollar.
