Oil Prices Fall Below $30 a Barrel
By Timothy Puko and Georgi Kantchev
Oil prices settled below $30 a barrel on Friday for the first time in 12 years as turmoil in Chinese markets and the expected increase in Iranian crude exports added to concerns that a global glut will linger.
Light, sweet crude for February delivery settled down $1.78, or 5.7%, at $29.42 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, the lowest settlement since November 2003.
Brent, the global benchmark, fell $1.94, or 6.3%, to $28.94 a barrel on ICE Futures Europe, marking the lowest settlement level since February 2004.
