Brent settled down 91 cents at $115.81 a barrel, while WTI fell $1.51 to $101.76. Both benchmarks retreated as traders assessed efforts to ease Middle East tensions. See our oil story.
Chain: bitcoin near $80,000
Bitcoin traded near $80,000 in Monday snapshots, with the Federal Reserve's decision due Wednesday. Crypto trades around the clock, so this is not an official closing price. See our weekend bitcoin story.
