Futures Market Focus:

Crude futures edged moderately lower today, retreating from their recently tapped eight-week high. Commodity players eyed a stronger U.S. dollar, which made dollar-denominated black gold less attractive to holders of foreign currencies. Additionally, traders considered the potentially bearish ramifications of tomorrow's inventories report, with analysts surveyed by Reuters forecasting a sixth consecutive weekly increase in crude supplies. By the close, crude oil for April delivery gave up 38 cents, or 0.5%, to end at $81.49 per barrel.
