VIENNA, Austria -- Resurfacing concerns over the world economy sent crude prices lower Tuesday, eclipsing fears that the conflict between Israel and Hamas could inflame tensions in the oil-rich Middle East, according to The Associated Press. Prices have blipped upward over the past few days because of the fighting. But with the conflict in its fourth day Tuesday, the market refocused on the turmoil roiling economies internationally - and the negative fallout for oil demand. Light, sweet crude for February delivery fell 74 cents to $39.28 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange by noon in Europe. The contract overnight rose $2.31 to settle at $40.02.
