Crude oil prices down slightly

Brent crude July contracts on the International Petroleum Exchange were down 37 cents on Monday to $68.31 per barrel after dropping as low as $67.63 during the day.  Meanwhile, West Texas Intermediate crude on the New York Mercantile Exchange declined by 8 cents to $68.45 per barrel.  Analysts were of the opinion that if prices drop below $68.20, it could mean that a further decline to just above $65 per barrel could be coming.
