During trading in the global markets, the price of British crude oil per barrel fell by 6% to 72.80 dollars, while the price of American crude oil per barrel decreased by 6.39% to 66.77 dollars.

Due to the record increase in crude oil prices in the global markets, waves of inflation and economic slowdown are being seen across the world. Pakistan has also been badly affected by the record rise in crude oil prices in the global market, where the prices of oil products have increased by more than Rs 120 during the last year.
