US oil price falls to 3-year low

The price of Brent crude fell as well amid speculation that stockpiles increased, Bloomberg reports.

{mosads}WTI fell to $75.84 a barrel, the lowest since Oct. 4, 2011. U.S. inventories of crude increased by 1.9 million barrels last week to a four-month high, a Bloomberg survey said.
