"Global Oil Prices Plummet 4% Amid Saudi Price Cuts and Demand Concerns"
TL;DR
Oil prices declined after Saudi Arabia cut official selling prices for all regions, with West Texas Intermediate experiencing its biggest drop in almost two months, settling below $71 a barrel. The move by state producer Saudi Aramco to lower its flagship Arab Light price to Asia by $2 a barrel, more than expected, reflects persistent weakness in the global market, with pricing at its lowest since November 2021.
