　　Oil prices fall to three-week low as Covid resurgence threatens demand

　　Oil plunged to a three-week low, extending losses after the worst week since October, as the resurgence of Covid-19 threatened the outlook for fuel demand.

　　Futures fell below $66 a barrel in New York after sliding almost 8% last week. Infections have also climbed in the U.S. and Thailand.

　　“Oil is seeing a continued loss of momentum, with sentiment taking a knock,” said Ole Hansen, head of commodities research at Saxo Bank A/S. “Most importantly, worries about the short-term demand outlook as governments respond to a surging delta variant” are weighing on the market.

　　Crude has run into stiff headwinds this month as the fast-spreading delta variant sweeps across the globe, leading to renewed restrictions, and as expectations that the Federal Reserve will ease stimulus strengthens the dollar.

　　Prices:

　　West Texas Intermediate for September delivery dropped 4.2% to $65.41 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange at 9:53 a.m. London time after falling 7.7% last week.
