Oil falls as Syria risk fades
Online Edition
The price of oil closed at a six-week low yesterday as the catalysts that drove it above US$110 earlier this month lost strength.
US benchmark oil for November delivery fell US$1.16, or 1.1 percent, to close at US$103.59 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Oil has dropped 6.3 percent since closing at a two-year high of US$110.53 on Sept. 6.
Analysts said the apparent progress being made in the elimination of Syria's chemical weapons, a seeming thaw in relations between Iran and Western powers and the return to markets of crude from Libya and South Sudan were weighing on oil prices.
Brent crude, the benchmark for international crudes used by many US refineries, dropped US$1.06 to US$108.16 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
