Question About Oil and Natural Gas

Discussion in 'Commodity Futures' started by KrispyKreme50, Jul 18, 2008.

  1. You often hear "oil closed up $1 today to end at $130" from financial news sources. When they say oil, what type of crude are they referring to? Could someone also point out the same for natural gas? Thanks for any help.
