London Brent crude down over $1 on economic gloom
PERTH, July 6 (Reuters) - Oil prices fell below $65 a barrel on Monday, extending last week's decline, as weak economic data continued to cast doubt over the prospects of a global economic recovery and energy demand.
London Brent crude fell over $1 to $64.60 a barrel by 0227 GMT, while U.S. crude for August delivery CLc1 fell $2.03 to $64.70.
NYMEX floor trading was closed on Friday because of the U.S. Independence Day holiday, and although oil contracts were trading electronically, NYMEX did not issue an official closing price.
