Oil Prices Lower in Asian Session

September 2, 2015 Share Print 0

Oil prices fell as much as over 2 percent in early Asian trade on Wednesday, as a stronger than expected build in U.S. crude oil stocks and weaker U.S. manufacturing data fueled a rout in prices that started in the previous session.

Brent and U.S. crude finished around 8 percent lower on Tuesday to end a 25-percent three-session surge, the largest three-day gain since 1990.

That came after oil prices dropped to their lowest level in 6-1/2 years last week.
