Brent Falls Again on News of Possible Greek Eurozone Exit

摘要

Oil prices incurred heavy losses on Wednesday as fears of a potentially chaotic Greek exit from the eurozone hammered the market. Brent crude fell almost $3, while Nymex WTI fell nearly $2 to settle below $90 per barrel for the first time since last October. Fears that debt-ridden Greece may have to leave the eurozone dragged the currency down to 1.2582 against the dollar on Wednesday afternoon. That triggered a slide in equities and commodities, although the US stock market subsequently staged a late rally to close little changed.
