On Monday afternoon in New York, West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures dropped below the $50 per barrel mark for the first time since April 6.
Last week, oil prices fell for a third straight week. Oil has been under pressure on news of Iran's nuclear agreement, which raised concerns about a flood of new exports. Many analysts do not expect a surge in Iranian exports until next year, however.
Oversupply elsewhere in the market has been a persistent concern, with Saudi Arabia announcing record June production last week.
