Oil prices above $70 since 2014
Washington, May 7: Rising oil prices just passed another milestone, jumping above $70 per barrel on Monday for the first time since November 2014.
Oil prices have been climbing partly because of expectations that US President Donald Trump will abandon the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, which allowed Tehran to export more crude, reports CNN.
Prices have also gotten a lift from strong global demand and supply cuts by OPEC and Russia.
US oil prices have gained more than 16 per cent since the start of the year.

Mohammed Zubair criticises ANI's selective reporting, says idol vandalism in BJP-ruled state ignored
New Delhi: Alt News co-founder and fact-checker Mohammed Zubair has accused news agency ANI of selective reporting, pointing out its focus on an idol vandalism case in Hyderabad while allegedly ignoring a similar incident in Lucknow. Zubair stated, "Yesterday, there were two incidents of idol vandalism: one in Lucknow and another in Hyderabad. Interestingly, ANI reported on the Hyderabad case, even securing a video byte from BJP opposition members, but did not cover the incident in BJP-ruled Uttar Pradesh, where the accused remains at large."
In Hyderabad, a man named Krishnaiah Goud was arrested by the Begum Bazaar police for allegedly vandalising a Durga idol at Numaish Grounds. The incident occurred during a Dandiya program early Thursday morning. The accused, who is reportedly mentally disturbed, was arrested in the Feelkhana area later that evening. DCP Central Akshansh Yadav confirmed that two cases were registered—one against Goud and another against the event organisers for inadequate security. He also clarified that the incident had no communal motive.
In Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, an idol of goddess Durga was vandalised at the Mari Mata temple in Neelmatha on October 10. The miscreants damaged the idol’s hand, with the act discovered by the temple priest during preparations for the morning puja. Police have registered a case and are working to identify the culprits. Local authorities, including ACP Abhay Pratap Mall, assured that the situation is under control, and a new idol has been installed.
