LONDON, Oct 24: Global oil prices fell on Wednesday, with New York crude hitting the lowest level since July, as the surging US crude stocks and weak European economic data sparked fresh demand concerns, analysts said.
New York’s main contract, light sweet crude for December, sank as low as $85.22 — the lowest point since July 12. It later stood at $85.42, which marked a large drop of $1.25 from Tuesday’s closing level.
