The price of US crude steadied this morning after falling to almost $100 a barrel after a sudden decrease in US crude stocks.
US crude for June delivery dipped 19¢ to stand at $99.91 a barrel, while ICE Brent for July fell 3¢ to $112.27.

A wildfire in Alberta, Canada, which threatened supplies, may have also influenced the drop in oil prices.
