Oil prices hit their lowest levels in months

Oil prices on Monday hit their lowest levels in months despite the Saudi-led OPEC and its Russia-led allies agreeing on Sunday to extend production cuts.

Benchmark U.S. crude changed hands for as little as $75.12 a barrel in morning trading, according to Dow Jones Market Data. 

This is the cheapest price since February 8.

The decline of crude prices has been a boon for American drivers and slowed U.S. inflation. 

While reduced production quotas by OPEC+ members have taken millions of barrels of oil off the global market each day, new output from the U.S., Guyana, and Canada has weighed down prices.
