Oil falls as spending cuts loom

Oil fell Friday to its lowest level of the year on worrisome economic developments in the world's two largest oil-consuming nations.

 

Oil dropped close to $90 a barrel as the prospect of US government spending cuts raised concerns about oil demand in the world's leading economy. In addition China's manufacturing grew at its weakest rate in five months in February. (AP)
