Oil Flow Lower On Slowdown Fears After posting the biggest one-day decline in more than a year Oil continued to drift lower on Tuesday too but the pace of decline was slow when compared to previous sessions. West Texas Intermediate for December delivery fell $1 to $57.36 a barrel in early afternoon trade on the New YorkLondon trade. Mercantile Exchange, while ICE Brent crude futures slipped 88 cents to $57.80 in late afternoon Petroleum product futures were also weaker. November unleaded gasoline dropped 5.75 cents to $1.3980 a gallon and November heating oil futures eased 2.3 cents to $1.5785. The declines came despite the production cuts from Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), which has agreed to trim 1.2m barrels a day from their output. The cut, which was planned to come into effect from November 1st (that is from today) , was an attempt to steady prices. However, so far only Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates have told customers of impending cuts. to know more abou the oil market logon to my blog moneyeasymoney.blogspot.com |
