Oil prices hit two-month low after U.S. Democratic win

What's behind this

Crude oil prices fell after US midterm results raised hopes of ending the West Asia war, with Brent and WTI futures weakening alongside domestic contracts and reports of recovering Persian Gulf exports boosting the supply outlook. Brent crude futures dived nearly 9% overnight, slipping below $100 a barrel and down about 20% for the week. The price drop coincided with a rally in Indian equities, as the Sensex rose over 1,600 points and the Nifty climbed roughly 417 points. Fuel price listings for Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru were also highlighted.
