LONDON: Oil prices fell far from recent 28-month highs yesterday as weak US jobs data helped to offset fears of Middle East supply disruptions caused by a possible US-led military strike against Syria.
Brent North Sea crude for delivery in October shed $2.05 to stand at $114.07 a barrel in late London deals.
New York’s main contract, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) for October, fell 96 cents at $109.57 a barrel. On Friday, WTI oil hit a 28-month high in New York trade owing to tensions between the US and Russia over a potential military strike against Syria.
