Oil tumbles as much as 10%, breaks below $100 as recession fears mount

Oil prices tumbled Tuesday with the U.S. benchmark falling below $100 as recession fears grow, sparking fears that an economic slowdown will cut demand for petroleum products.

 

West Texas Intermediate crude, the U.S. oil benchmark, settled 8.24%, or $8.93, lower at $99.50 per barrel. At one point WTI slid more than 10%, trading as low as $97.43 per barrel. The contract last traded under $100 on May 11.

 

International benchmark Brent crude settled 9.45%, or $10.73, lower at $102.77 per barrel.
