Brent, the oil against which Nigeria’s crude is benchmarked, dropped in price on Wednesday, shedding $2.33/barrel.

The bulk of Nigeria’s foreign exchange earnings comes from the sale of crude oil and a crash in global oil prices often leads to a drop in the country’s earnings.

The commodity dropped by 5.7 per cent on Wednesday when compared to what it traded for the previous day. Crude oil in OPEC basket appreciated by $0.31 to $39.53 per barrel on Wednesday, indicating an increase of 0.97 per cent when compared to its price on Tuesday.

When Brent oil is about $42 and OPEC basket is about $37 ,Naija why?
