2017.05.3102:37:00UTC+00Oil Slides as Higher US, Libya Output Impairs OPEC Cuts

Oil prices skidded Wednesday, as escalating production from Libya fueled concerns regarding higher US output, weakening OPEC-led reductions aimed at stabilizing the crude market.

Libya's state-run oil company said their oil output is awaited to increase by 800,000 barrels a day this week. The shale oil drilling in America has leaped by over 10% to more than 9.3 million barrels a day since the middle of the previous year.

Brent crude futures settled at $51.72 a barrel, down 0.2%. The WTI crude futures stood at $49.47 a barrel, down 0.4%.
