Oil Prices Declined Nearly 10% in Two Weeks

Crude oil prices declined nearly 10% in the past two weeks as concerns about global fuel supplies eased. The G7's decision to release 100 million barrels from emergency reserves, along with improving oil exports from the Middle East, helped calm supply concerns. As a result, crude fell from above $100 per barrel in mid-September to $91.11 on Friday.
