    Commodities prices dipped across the energy, metals and agricultural markets Tuesday on declines in crude oil, gold and grains. Oil prices dropped under a forecast for advancing crude and gasoline inventories. Gold prices flagged also beside a rising dollar and weaker crude. Shortly before the close of the London Metal Exchange, industrial metals prices began to soften after a mostly positive day.
