Oil prices fell Tuesday for a second-straight session, as traders awaited weekly data on U.S petroleum supplies. The American Petroleum Institute will release its report late Tuesday, while the Energy Information Administration’s report comes out Wednesday. Analysts surveyed by S&P Global Platts expect the EIA to reveal a decline of 1.5 million barrels in crude inventories. November WTI crude fell 16 cents, or 0.3%, to settle at $50.42 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
