Oil prices fall as Hurricane Rafael expected to start weakening
Brent crude oil futures fell 47 cents, or 0.6%, to $75.16 per barrel by 0446 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell 55 cents or 0.8% to $71.81. The benchmarks fell after rising nearly 1% on Thursday.
For the week, Brent is set to gain 3.1% while WTI is set to rise 4.1%
Hurricane Rafael, which has caused 391,214 barrels per day of U.S. crude oil production to be shut, is expected to move slowly westward over the Gulf of Mexico and away from U.S. fields while forecast to weaken from Friday and through the weekend, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.
Prices gained support on Thursday on expected actions by the incoming Trump administration such as tighter sanctions on Iran and Venezuela, which could limit their supply to global markets.
