WTI crude fell $3.33 to $53.43 on November 20, its lowest close since October 2017, while Dated Brent dropped $4.26. Traders sold off energy on concerns Saudi Arabia would refrain from production cuts after the Khashoggi dispute, alongside weakness in equities.
Gasoline and diesel futures also fell sharply.
Lower crude and diesel futures reduce energy and freight costs for feed producers and suggest softer input costs ahead, though supply-cut talk could limit further declines.
