Meanwhile, oil prices fell on Thursday, pressured by rising supply going into a market in which consumption is expected to slow down amid a glum economic outlook. Front-month Brent crude oil futures were trading at $65.90 per barrel at 0254 GMT, down 22 cents, or 0.3 percent, from their last close, Reuters reported. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were at $55.95, down 30 cents, or 0.5 percent, said the Reuters report. Since early October, oil prices have lost around a quarter of their value as supply soars just as demand is expected to slow down along with an economic downturn.
