Oil tumbles toward $100 as markets slip
Oil prices moved lower with October futures dipping to 105.46 in early trading before settling at 109.71 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Analysts note the drop from July’s high near 147 and the potential for further declines as demand remains weak. The national gasoline average rose to 3.68 a gallon, up 90 cents from early 2009.
