MARKET WATCH: NYMEX crude oil price ends week with third consecutive decline

The light, sweet crude oil contract for October fell slightly on the New York market Sept. 7, marking its third consecutive decline. Brent crude oil prices for November and December climbed modestly in London. Analysts said a strengthening US dollar restrained light, sweet crude prices. Oil trades in US dollars so a stronger dollar makes oil expensive for buyers starting out with other currencies.
