NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Crude-oil and gold futures declined early Monday as the U.S. dollar strengthened amid doubts about Europe’s ability to resolve its debt crisis. Light, sweet crude-oil prices for December delivery shed 69 cents, or 0.7%, to $98.30 a barrel. Crude prices had edged up earlier in electronic trading, but reversed course on cues from stock index futures, which pointed toward a lower opening on Wall Street. Gold futures, also due for delivery next month , eased $6.90, or 0.4%, to $1,781.20 an ounce.
