BP Share News (BP.)

Falling oil prices and downbeat manufacturing data in continental Europe sent London shares into reverse on Monday.The price of a barrel of Brent crude leaked more than 10% and US light crude was off 11% just after the close in London as Middle East and US oil chiefs continued their stand-off over production.Shares in Europe were being weighed down by a slowdown in manufacturing growth across the region and in China.The German purchasing managers index signalled contraction at 49.5, which pushed the Euro-area survey close to contraction at 50.1.France was still in contraction territory, although it beat expectations, while Spain also cheered economists by expanding further.The FTSE 100 Index closed 66.25 points adrift at 6656.37 as oil industry losses offset any gains from a slightly faster rate of UK manufacturing growth in November, supported mainly by domestic orders.Tullow Oil was the biggest faller in the Footsie with a 25.5p drop to 400.5p while oil services group Weir dipped 47p to 1829p and Petrofac slipped 17p to 808p.
