Oil extends losses


The price of crude oil tumbled further in London trading on Monday in the absence of a severe hurricane threat and on expectations that Iran would not soon face economic sanctions, analysts said.

The price here of Brent North Sea crude for October delivery slid 93 cents to 68.22 dollars per barrel in electronic trade.

Trading in New York was closed owing to the Labor Day public holiday in the United States.
