Oil futures finished lower on Tuesday, with U.S. prices down nearly 2% as traders weighed demand expectations following the latest U.S. economic data. “Crude prices tumbled after a steady dose of bad news from the economy: both manufacturing and service sectors remained in contraction territory and on many downbeat earnings,” said Edward Moya, senior market analyst at OANDA. “The headlines were mostly not supportive of an improving outlook.” U.S. benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude for March delivery CLH23 fell $1.49, or 1.8%, to settle at $80.13 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.Market Pulse Stories are Rapid-fire, short news bursts on stocks and markets as they move.
