Oil continues to decline amid anticipation of more decisions to raise interest rates

Oil prices continued their decline today, after falling in the previous session to their lowest level in five weeks, while investors await more decisions to raise interest rates this week.
Yesterday, oil prices fell about 5%, due to economic fears of the United States defaulting on its debts.
Brent crude futures fell 13 cents, or 0.2%, to $75.19 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate crude fell 13 cents, or 0.2%, to $71.53.
