Brent crude oil prices fell sharply to a nine-month low, resulting in a sell-off that was magnified by a surge in the US dollar, making USD-priced commodities more expensive for investors, Australia’s ANZ Bank said in a Monday note.

Oil prices increased on Thursday on concerns over tight global supplies ahead of the winter months. International benchmark Brent crude traded at $90.50 per barrel, an increase of 0.75% from the closing price of $89.83 a barrel in the previous trading session.
