Brent falls below $52 as oil hits new five-and-a-half year lows

(Reuters) - Oil prices sank to fresh 5-1/2-year lows on Tuesday, extending losses after a 5 percent plunge in the previous session as worries over a global supply glut intensified.

Brent crude fell by 3 percent to below $52 (34 pounds) a barrel as cuts to monthly oil selling prices for European buyers by top OPEC producer Saudi Arabia heightened worries about oversupply.
