Oil prices declined 0.22% against the USD for the 24 hour period ending 23:00GMT, closing at 97.14, as warning from Moody’s Investors Service over France’s credit rating and investors’ expectations that the US supercommittee has failed to reach a deficit-reduction agreement, diminished prospects for oil demand.
