FXstreet.com (Córdoba) - Crude futures fell on Monday, dropping below the $83.00 level to match Friday's lows after being unable to sustain gains propelled by the Spanish bailout.

Crude for July delivery had peaked at $86.76 during the Asian session but gave up those gains as the euphoria faded afterwards. Crude fell more than $4 to a low of $82.43, and currently quotes around $82.50 a barrel, recording a 2.1% loss on the day.

Next Thursday the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries will meet in Vienna to discuss production levels.
