LONDON (AP) - Crude-oil prices fell by more than $1 a barrel Wednesday as expectations of a build in U.S. supplies brought some calm to a market that has been rattled recently by supply disruptions in Nigeria and concerns about Iran's nuclear ambitions.
"The emotions swing back and forth, and so does the price," said oil broker Tom Bentz of BNP Paribas Commodity Futures in New York.
Light sweet crude for April delivery fell $1.73 to settle at $61.01 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, where a day earlier the front-month futures contract had gained $1.22.
