OIL HITS NEW LOW FOR YEAR

In London trading, contracts for light sweet crude traded for as little as $57.24, the lowest contract price since December 19, 2005. Contracts on the NYMEX for November delivery currently stand at $57.41. The reason for the decline seems to be that traders do not believe that OPEC will be able to enforce an output cut and U.S. inventories are increasing.
