The price of petrol after the VAT cut will go down from the current Rs 103 per litre to Rs 95 per litre, sources quoted by PTI said.

West Texas Intermediate crude futures, the US oil benchmark, rose to $130.50 per barrel on Sunday evening, its highest since July 2008, before retreating. The international benchmark, Brent crude, hit a high of $139.13 at one point overnight, also its highest since July 2008.
