Oil prices traded lower on a stronger U.S. dollar and despite geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The greenback was supported by the better-than-expected U.S. housing market data. Housing starts in the U.S. soared 20.2% to 1,135 million annualized rate in April from a 944,000 pace in March, exceeding expectations for a rise to 1.019 million. It was the highest level since November 2007.
The increase was driven by a gain in starts of single-family homes, which jumped to their highest level since January 2008.
Building permits in the U.S. climbed 10.1% to 1.143 million annualized rate in April from a 1.038 million pace in March. Analysts had expected building permits to increase to 1.064 million units.
Housing market seems to pick up as the weakness in first quarter of 2015 seems to be due to harsh weather. But housing market figures are in stark contrast with weakness in consumption, business spending and manufacturing.
Concerns over supply disruptions in the Middle East receded into the background as data showed that the oil production in the Gulf region increased. Crude oil exports from Saudi Arabia hit the highest level since 2005, according to the official data on Monday.
WTI crude oil for June delivery fell to $57.79 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude oil for June decreased to $64.80 a barrel on ICE Futures Europe.

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
