Oil hits a new low... $29 a barrel, lowest since 2003

West Texas Intermediate crude tumbled to the lowest since December 2003. Concerns that China’s economic growth may slow has soured investors on the prospects for a quick recovery, turning hedge funds the least bullish in five years. A rapid appreciation of the U.S. dollar may send Brent oil to as low as $20 a barrel, Morgan Stanley said.

The Bloomberg Commodity Index, a gauge of 22 raw materials slumped to the lowest level since 1999.
