OIL DROPS: The swine flu outbreak is seen as potentially damaging to the world economy. (Getty Images)Oil prices extended losses and fell below $50 a barrel on Tuesday, as a rising death toll from a flu outbreak that started in Mexico fanned fears of a pandemic potentially hurting the world economy and air travel.

flights due to the flu, air carriers will cut flights, which affects the purchase of fuels - (made from oil)... hence a surplus of oil.... to much oil drives down the price....

does that answer your question?

hmmmm - *note to self* I knew working the business desk would pay off oneday;-)

I think people have lost their sense and finding it difficult to recover from recession. So anything and everything is linked to it. God give the people the sense that swine flu and oil are not in anyway interrelated

the world economy has not even shown any recovery from the currect global economic mess...

and then another fear sets sail to bring havoc all throughout the world...

this scare is definitely the last thing investors will ever ask for...

it's getting scarier and scarier as days passes bay...

who would invest in such an state of dis-array??

and if investors keep on shying away, how can economy recovers?
