Brent crude oil prices have slipped for a third day, down 3.8% to $74.52 per barrel, marking its lowest level since October 2. iFX analyst Philip Wee from DBS attributes this drop to the ongoing instability in the Middle East, which complicates the commodities landscape.
Factors Influencing Oil Prices
- Middle East tensions impacting supply
- Banking sector reactions to fluctuating commodity prices
- Global demand shifts influencing market dynamics
