The price of Brent crude oil has dropped to below $60 a barrel. This is the lowest price since February 2021, when the Covid-19 pandemic pushed prices down as less people used oil.

Brent crude oil is used as a global benchmark of oil prices. Analyst Ashley Kelly suggested that the White House wants oil prices to go down as this could be an advantage for the US.

How could this affect me? The price of Brent crude oil can impact the cost of many things we use every day, including the price of car fuel and heating your home.

It can also impact the cost of shipping imported goods, as well as the production cost for energy intensive industries.
