Crude Oil finished trading virtually unchanged at $68.12. This behavior was largely owed to the U.S. markets being closed on Monday. Therefore, there was lower than usual volatility in both the forex market and the commodity market. Furthermore, in mid-trading many investors ditched Crude Oil for equities, which was initiated by the announcement of the attempted takeover bid by Kraft Foods of Cadbury.
