INTERNATIONAL COMMODITY NEWS :
U.S. crude and Brent futures dropped to fresh 5-1/2-year lows on Monday as worries about a surplus of global supplies amid weak demand continued to drag on oil markets.OPEC’s decision in November to maintain output had accelerated oil’s losses earlier, while record-high Russian production and the highest Iraqi exports since 1980 added to the concerns about oversupply. The two oil benchmarks, Brent and West Texas Intermediate, have now lost more than half of their value from peaks hit in the middle of last year.U.S. crude slid as low as $51.40 a barrel, its lowest since May 2009, and at 0312 GMT was just a tick above that at $51.59 a barrel, still down $1.10.February Brent crude dropped as low as $55.36 a barrel, also its lowest since May 2009, before edging back to $55.42, still down a dollar.”Trying to pick a bottom could be deadly,” said a crude oil trader who declined to be named due to company policy.Lackluster economic data from the United States on Friday fueled worries about the state of the global economy and the strength of oil demand.”Oil demand is unlikely be robust this year when we look at the state of economies in China, Japan and Europe,” said Yusuke Seta, a commodity sales manager at Newedge Japan.
