LONDON (AFP) – Oil prices sank under 50 dollars a barrel in London on Thursday, reaching the lowest levels for three and a half years, as the market was plagued by weak energy demand.

Oh those halcyon days of $150/barrel oil! Oh, how we dreamed that it might reach $200! But then, even as we were tempted by the gods, this plague of cheap-as-hell energy befell us!
