Global Crude Oil Prices Ease
Globally, crude oil prices fell more than a dollar a barrel on Friday to record a second straight weekly decline, as disappointing Chinese data added to doubts about demand growth after Saudi Arabia’s weekend decision to cut output.
Brent crude futures fell $1.17, or 1.5 per cent, to settle at $74.79 a barrel, while the US West Texas Intermediate crude fell $1.12, or 1.6 per cent, to $70.17 a barrel.
Both benchmarks lost more than $3 on Thursday after a media report that a US-Iran nuclear deal was imminent and would result in more supply. Prices pared losses after both countries denied the report, ending about a dollar a barrel lower.
