Futures Prices Tumble Friday

摘要

With the U.S. dollar struggling, more investors began putting their money into commodities this year - particularly oil, which some investors dubbed the "new gold. This helped propel oil to its record highs near $150/bbl earlier this summer. But with the value of the dollar making a comeback recently, investors have started pulling their money out of oil, resulting in the price falling to around $120/bbl in just a few weeks.
