Crude oil prices, which had risen sharply due to the Ukraine-Russia war, are now falling sharply again. It is reported that the price of a barrel of crude oil has dropped to less than US $ 100.
At the close of trading yesterday, the price of a barrel of crude oil was $ 98, the lowest level in two weeks.
Meanwhile, several countries around the world have taken steps to give their people the benefit of lower crude oil prices. Countries including New Zealand have recently taken steps to increase fuel prices, but have now taken steps to reduce them again.
