Crude Drops as U.S. Weighs Syria Attack

West Texas Intermediate crude fell the most in two weeks as the U.S. considered limiting the scale of military strikes on Syria.

Futures dropped 1.2 percent. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee passed a resolution authorizing the “tailored” use of force. It was the first test of congressional support for President Barack Obama’s plan to attack Syria in response to the alleged deployment of chemical weapons against civilians.
