Oil fell to an 11-year low. The price of Brent crude, the main international benchmark, reached $36.05, the weakest since July 2004. Its American counterpart, West Texas Intermediate, fell to its lowest since 2009. Looming Iranian exports are likely to add to the supply glut caused by OPEC’s decision to stop trying to curb production.

Crude: 原油

Benchmark:基准价格
