Oil tumbles to $45 a barrel, bringing cheer to consumers for now
- Comments::DISQUS_COMMENTS
NEW DELHI: Global oil prices breached the six-year low of $45 a barrel briefly on Tuesday but the last word is yet to be heard on how far crude would slide before bouncing back. While the low prices kept the good times rolling for emerging economies such as India, the slide is not without negatives.
Crude has fallen nearly 60% from $111 a barrel in June after Opec swing producer Saudi Arabia initiated a price war to retain market share against rising supplies from new players such as the US shale industry and Russia.
