Crude oil prices tumbled as much 1 percent for a second consecutive day on Tuesday as an increasing dollar and a global fuel oversupply offset forecasts for weaker U.S. crude inventories. Brent crude eased 30 cents, or 0.6 percent, to close at $46.66 barrel. It lost 1.4 percent on Monday. U.S. crude West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude declined 59 cents, or 1.3 percent, to end at $44.65. WTI fell 1.6 percent in the previous session. It posted the lowest settlement since May 9, when oil settled at $43.44. Brent's premium to WTI hit its highest level since the end of April, boosting the export potential for U.S. crude.
