Brent crude is down another 1.38%, to just $69.2 per barrel. During trading, the price fell as low as $68, highlighting the amazing drop in prices: Brent crude was trading for more than $100 per barrel as recently as the end of August.

WTI, the other major oil price benchmark, is down 0.63% to just $65.73.
