Oil Closes at Lowest Level in Week

Oil prices fell on Tuesday to their lowest level in about a week, after the OPEC+ alliance delayed its decision regarding output cuts, in a move that was somehow expected.

Brent crude futures for February delivery fell by 46 cents, or 1%, at $47.42 per barrel.

West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures for January delivery declined by 79 cents, or 1.7%, to settle at $44.55 per barrel.

This is the lowest closing level for both contracts since November 23.
