Global crude oil prices have witnessed a sharp contraction, tumbling roughly 9 percent across the past two trading sessions. Brent crude, which had climbed to 117 dollars per barrel last month, traded down at 104.54 dollars per barrel on 3 November. Market volatility cooled significantly as the prospect of reconciliation between the United States and Iran helped calm turbulence in global petroleum trade. Softening international crude rates offer substantial economic relief to India, which imports approximately 85 percent of its crude oil requirements to satisfy domestic demand. Even so, state-run oil marketing companies left retail pump prices unchanged today, continuing an extended period of steady fuel rates across the country.
