LONDON, (Reuters) - Gasoline prices fell on Tuesday as
deepening anxiety on prospects for the global economy hit assets
correlated with the demand outlook. Low levels in the river Rhine also contributed to weakness
for gasoline as it added to transit costs for fuels.
Brent crude LCOc1 fell below $100 per barrel on deepening
concern about the global economy, but recovered some losses on
comments from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and on
concern about violence in Saudi Arabia. Prices of products have been supported after Shell closed
its 500,000 barrel per day Singapore refinery after a fire.
