Oil Prices Extend Losses After Federal Reserve Raises Rates
By Stephanie Yang and Kevin Baxter
Oil prices pulled back on Wednesday, weighed down by rising interest rates and concerns over the ability of major players to cut production.
Light, sweet crude for January delivery settled down $1.94, or 3.7%, at $51.04 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, breaking a four-day winning streak in its biggest one-day decline since July. Brent, the global contract, settled down $1.82, or 3.3%, to $53.90 a barrel.
On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve announced that it will raise interest rates by 25 basis points, prompting a reversal in the U.S. dollar. The WSJ Dollar Index was recently up 0.7% at 91.97.
