Crude Oil WTI Futures, the U.S. benchmark for oil, fell 42 cents a barrel after settling down 3 cents, at $61.67 per barrel.
Oil prices made a strong start to the week on Monday after Goldman Sachs hiked its price target on Brent crude oil to $70 in the second quarter and $75 in the third, from prior forecasts of $60 and $65 respectively, citing expectations for tight oil markets this summer.
