Brent Crude Oil fell $1.94, or 1.77%, to $107.92 a barrel on Monday morning after the United States waived sanctions on Russia to boost fuel supplies. The drop follows Friday's peak, which marked the highest level for the global benchmark since May. Traders balanced the potential increase in crude exports against ongoing supply disruptions in the Middle East.
