Oil prices decline on rising dollar
By Trend
Oil prices declined on Thursday as the U.S. dollar increased against most of its major peers, Trend reports citing Xinhua.
The dollar was supported by positive sentiment on U.S. economy. The dollar index, which measures the greenback against six major peers, increased 0.10 percent to 96.4997 at 3:00 p.m. (2000 GMT).
A stronger dollar made the dollar-priced commodity less attractive for holders of other currencies.
