Oil slips as investors assess Saudi export recovery
Oil prices slipped on Monday as Saudi Arabia's exports recovered despite Houthi attacks on its oil sites. Brent fell 81 cents to $103.06 a barrel, and US West Texas Intermediate dropped to $99.41. Saudi shipments recovered to just over 4 million barrels a day in September, from 2.4 million in August. For your business, this keeps fuel and freight costs uncertain, so review transport budgets.
