•As cease fire deal eases supply fears
By Yinka Kolawole, with agency report
Oil prices fell sharply on Thursday, dropping to their lowest levels since the outbreak of the US-Iran conflict, as an interim agreement between the United States and Iran improved prospects for global crude supply
According to Reuters, Brent crude futures declined by $1.53, or 1.9 per cent, to $78.02 per barrel as of 1326 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell $2.22, or 2.9 per cent, to $74.57 per barrel.
Brent crude touched its lowest level since the first trading session following the initial US-Israeli strikes on Iran, while WTI dropped to its weakest level since early March.
