TOKYO: Oil prices fell by about $2 on Thursday on expectations of a potential U.S.-Iran nuclear deal that could result in sanctions easing, while a surprise build in U.S. crude oil inventories last week heightened investor concerns about oversupply.
Brent crude futures fell $2.16, or 3.3%, to $63.93 a barrel by 0657 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures slid $2.10, or 3.3%, to $61.05.
