Oil prices dipped Monday as investors remain concerned the trade war between the U.S. and China will continue to drag on.  West Texas Crude was down slightly, trading in the mid $56 a barrel range Monday.  This comes after President Trump dismissed reports of the U.S. and China lifting tariffs in an effort to conclude the trade war.  While President Trump told reporters over the weekend that talk with China are moving along very nicely, investors remain concerned about the potential implications on global trade, economic growth and much more.
