Oil mixed in Asian trade

SINGAPORE: Oil was mixed in Asian trade Monday as worries about US energy demand capped investor sentiment, analysts said.

New York's main contract, light sweet crude for October delivery, dropped 10 cents to 67.92 dollars a barrel. Brent North Sea crude for October delivery was one cent up at 66.83 dollars a barrel.

The latest US jobs data released Friday, which showed a jump in the unemployment rate, was a reminder that energy demand would likely remain weak in the world's biggest energy user, analysts said.
