Oklahoma energy stocks bled freely.
West Texas Intermediate crude for August delivery, which last week had been in the $74 and $75 a barrel range plunged $5.39 to settle Monday at $66.42.
Global benchmark Brent crude oil for September delivery dropped $4.97 a barrel to finish at $68.62 on ICE Futures Europe.
