Oil down 1% after US manufacturing data

EPA-EFE/TANNEN MAURY

Prices of oil futures erased all gains made earlier in the day on Monday and dropped over 1% after the United States saw higher-than-expected manufacturing sector figures for September.

West Texas Intermediate (WTI) for settlements in November dropped 1.49% to $89.45 per barrel and Brent for deliveries in December declined 0.94% to $91.28 per barrel at 10:44 am ET.
