Oil prices fall as G7 agrees to release 100 million barrels of reserves

By GhanaSummary NewsroomPan-Africa

International benchmark Brent crude briefly fell below $100 per barrel before stabilising around $102, while US oil prices slumped by up to five per cent.

Oil prices fell sharply on Friday after G7 members announced a coordinated release of strategic oil reserves through the International Energy Agency over a period of four months.

The group announced 100 million barrels of oil and diesel will be released, to ease supply concerns that have caused prices to skyrocket.
