# Crude oil prices crash over 10% in a week! Brent hits 10-week low – What does it mean for India?

> Brent was around $92.33 per barrel on November 11, up on the day but down 10.41% over the week; WTI was also lower over the week. The article attributes the decline to easing U.S.-Iran tensions and recovering regional oil shipments, and notes that cheaper crude could support the Indian rupee.
