SINGAPORE: OilNSE -0.06 % prices fell on Thursday as record US output and rising crude stockpiles dampened the impact on markets of tighter US sanctions on Iran and producer club Opec’s continued curbs on supply.
Brent crude futures were at $74.35 per barrel at 0037 GMT, down 22 cents, or 0.3 per cent, from their last close.
US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were at $65.60 per barrel, down 29 cents, or 0.4 per cent, from their previous settlement.
Crude futures rose to 2019 highs earlier in the week after the United States said on Monday it would end all exemptions for sanctions against Iran, demanding countries halt oil imports from Tehran from May or face punitive action from Washington.
