Oil prices fell $5.09 today, CNN reports, reaching $125.95 per barrel at 11:35 p.m. Eastern time. The article cited four factors leading to the drop in light, sweet crude, including the weakened economy, reduced gas demand, Tropical Storm Dolly and increasingly strained Iran-U.S. relations.
Oil prices fell more than $16 per barrel total last week.
