Oil Drops Below $100 as Saudi Arabia Reportedly Boosts Crude Flow Through Hormuz

U.S. oil prices fell below $100 a barrel after Saudi Arabia reportedly offered additional crude through the Strait of Hormuz following an attack on a pipeline, according to CNBC.
The extra Saudi supply helped ease market concerns about potential disruptions to the kingdom's exports.
