Oil nearly 12 years low on China worries

Oil prices are sharply lower to start off the week as concerns over demand from China impact trading again, along with some fresh worries. Morgan Stanley is the latest major investment firm to forecast oil prices could fall into the $20s with the U.S. dollar continuing to strengthen against major currencies. There is also news that Saudi Arabia is considering an IPO for its state oil company, a development that adds a new layer of anxiety with traders. Brent crude is down 1.42% to $32.69, while WTI crude futures are 1.6% lower at $32.62.
