Crude oil plummets to lowest levels in 3 years

  • September 10, 2024  okenergytoday.com

Crude oil prices hit their lowest level since December 2021 after trading ended on Tuesday. Each fell nearly 4%.

It came after OPEC+ reconsidered and lowered its demand forecast for 2024 and 2025, a move that offset supply worries from Tropical Storm Francine, according to Reuters.

The final results? West Texas Intermediate crude dropped $2.96 or 4.31% to close at $65.75 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. At one point Tuesday, WTI crude futures fell more than 5% and hit their lowest levels since May 2023.
