Global oil prices extended their decline yesterday, with Nigeria’s benchmark, Brent crude, slipping below the $80 per barrel threshold amid growing optimism that tensions between the United States and Iran could ease.
Brent crude fell marginally by 2 cents, or 0.03 per cent, to $78.75 per barrel, while the US benchmark, West Texas Intermediate (WTI), dropped 35 cents, or 0.46 per cent, to $75.42 per barrel.
