The WTI Crude Oil markets fell again during the session on Friday, to continue the selloff that we have seen over the last three sessions. The main culprit of course is the US dollar and the Federal Reserve, as the Federal Reserve has suggested that they are going to taper off of quantitative easing over the next several months, and possibly be completely out of that game by the middle of next year.
