Oil prices fall following biggest advance in two months

Futures slid as much as 1.7 per cent in New York, trimming a 6.1 per cent surge on Monday.

Saudi Arabia's April 5 announcement raising differentials for May shipments to Asia follows a recovery in profits for refining crude into fuels, data compiled by Bloomberg showed.
