What is the cost of crude oil?
OPEC+, a group of oil producing countries, has recently decided to increase the supply of crude oil, causing a decline in crude oil prices in the global market. American crude oil (WTI) prices declined by 4%. On the other hand, Brent crude fell 3.79 percent to $ 58.79 per barrel.
