MARKET WATCH: NYMEX crude oil breaks its gaining streak

Light, sweet crude oil prices for August and September each fell by
nearly $2/bbl on July 5, breaking an eight-session gaining streak as
traders returned to work after the US Independence Day holiday. It was
the largest single-day drop in a month. Previously, the US oil benchmark
was up 11% over the 8 consecutive trading days of price increases,
which marked the longest gaining streak in at least 5 years.
