Global crude oil 

Oil prices dropped in early Asian trade on Thursday, extending the previous session's losses. This is due to the dollar strengthening and on profit taking after US crude oil stocks fell less than expected. 

Brent futures dipped 14 cents, or 0.2 per cent, to $79.32 a barrel by 0001 GMT, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell 15 cents to $75.20 a barrel, Reuters reported. 

Strength in the US dollar index weighed on prices. The dollar bounced on Wednesday after sentiment was boosted by inflation in the UK falling more than expected in June to its slowest pace in more than a year at 7.9 per cent. 

"The dollar index rebounded after disappointing US housing data that limited gains of crude oil prices. Lower than expected draw in the U.S. crude oil stocks also triggered profit taking in crude oil. We expect crude oil prices to remain volatile in today’s session. Crude oil has support at $73.80–73.00 and resistance is at $75.80–76.40 in today’s session. In INR Crude oil has support at Rs 6,110-6,035, while resistance is at Rs 6,290–6,360," said Rahul Kalantri, VP Commodities, Mehta Equities Ltd.
