Oil prices slide to 11-day low on hopes of US-Iran diplomacy, Saudi exports
Oil prices dropped to an 11-day low, helped by hopes of US-Iran diplomacy and Saudi exports. The West Texas Intermediate (WTI) October contract, expiring Tuesday, fell $2.69, or 2.7%, to $97.61 a barrel, while the November contract stood at $93.49. If your business buys fuel or freight, softer crude can ease costs slightly. Still, prices stay high, so review contracts instead of assuming relief.
