LONDON, July 11 (Reuters) - Crude oil prices fell by more than a dollar on Monday as worries about the widening euro zone debt crisis and a drop in Chinese crude imports rekindled worries about a demand slowdown.
Together with Friday's dismal U.S. employment data, investors remain on edge about a meeting of top European officials on fears the crisis could spread to Italy, the region's third largest economy.
Brent crude futures for August LCOc1 fell by $1.54 to $116.79 a barrel by 0802 GMT, while U.S. crude benchmark CLc1 West Texas Intermediate (WTI) was $1.18 lower at $95.02 a barrel by the same time.
"Risk aversion is back after the disappointing U.S. jobs data and concerns about the debt situation in Italy. This is putting oil prices under pressure and it seems Brent is vulnerable to further losses," Commerzbank analyst Carsten Fritsch told Reuters.
