Another day and another drop in crude oil prices and Oklahoma energy stocks.
Crude oil dropped around 2% for a second day this week, thanks to a stronger U.S. dollar and weak information from top oil importer China.
West Texas Intermediate crude fell 2% or $1.37 a barrel to close at $68.09 on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Brent crude, the global benchmark, fell $1.11 to $72.60 a barrel on ICE Futures Europe.
At one point in the trading, both benchmarks fell more than $2 a barrel while on Tuesday, they had tumbled more than 4%.
July natural gas fell 6 cents to $2.27 per 1,000 cubic feet.
It was another weak day of trading for Oklahoma energy stocks as such firms, such as Helmerich & Payne, dropped 5%.
