NEW YORK, July 29 (UPI) -- Chinese concerns about the durability of its economic momentum dragged further on crude oil prices, extending declines for a third straight day.
Brent crude oil prices were down about three-tenths of a percent in early trading to $53.10 per barrel. West Texas Intermediate, the U.S. benchmark, lost half a percent to $47.74 per barrel. Both indices are far below July 1 levels and close to their low points for 2015.
