NEW YORK, Dec 24 (Reuters) - Brent crude futures edged lower
on Monday in an abbreviated session before the Christmas
holiday, with thin trading volume the main feature as oil prices
felt pressure as U.S. budget talks stayed deadlocked.
Brent February crude fell 17 cents, or 0.16 percent,
to settle at $108.80 a barrel, having traded from $108.13 to
$109.22.
