Oil falls 3 percent on swelling oversupply

Oil prices fell 3 percent on Monday as Iraq announced record-high oil production feeding into a heavily oversupplied market, wiping out much of the gains made in one of the biggest-ever daily rallies last week.

Brent crude, the global benchmark, was down 84 cents at $31.34 a barrel at 1122 GMT, losing 2.6 percent from its closing price on Friday, when Brent surged 10 percent.
