US light crude fell $1.44 to $47.42 a barrel, more than $8 below the record $55.67 peak in late October. London Brent crude lost $1.73 to $43.02 a barrel after hitting a seven-week low of $42.95, as speculative funds exited into other markets such as equities following oil's 45 per cent rally this year.
