Brent set for first yearly drop in 3 years

The global oil benchmark has been unable to keep its head above the psychologically-important $80/bbl line, for now. Stronger support may arrive as trading volumes are restored in the new year, provided the US dollar keeps moving lower on hopes for Fed rate cuts in 2024.
