In addition, Xinhua also reported that Brent crude for October delivery fell 53 cents to $ 52.04 a barrel at the close of London ICE Futures Exchange.
According to market participants, crude oil prices in the global market weakened on Thursday as a number of oil refineries in the United States closed its operations as Harvey storms emerged.
According to the National Weather Service, Harvey's tropical storm has risen to a full-scale thunderstorm late Thursday and is expected to land in Texas on Friday.
Along with the emergence of the storm, two oil refineries in Texas have stopped its exploitation activities in preparation for the storm.

The reason, market participants will anticipate the blackout of the Gulf Coast in America along with the Harvey tropical storm. (Abraham Sihombing)
