In short, weakening of the US dollar, e.g., due to the weakening US economy, causes crude oil prices to go up. Strengthening dollar makes the price of crude oil to decrease. It is explained by the Purchasing Power Parity theory, which assumes that the producers of crude oil should get the same price for oil in their own currency, after exchanging dollars they receive for crude oil.

How does weak US dollar influence the price of crude oil?

Dollar is international currency and when the dollar is weak countries would be able to purchase more quantity of oil with lesser currency...however this is only when OPEC keep the prices stable Crude oil is mainly traded in US dollars, and when the US dollar weakens the crude oil market participants (speculators, producers, refineries, etc.) push the price of crude higher on the expectations that oil producers are entitled to at least the same prices as before in their own currencies, after exchanging US dollars into their currency. In economics such relationships are explained by Purchasing Power Parity theory.
