The price of future contracts for mixed Brent went down by 25 cents in Asian markets, settling at USD 100.91 per barrel Monday after reaching USD 101.16 pb the day before. This retreat came as a result of fears over the liquidity crisis in China, the worse of its kind in over a decade. The crisis in China affected stocks in the Asian markets and forced the Chinese central bank to pump money to the financial system to contain the situation.
