Spain was the key culprit Wednesday, together with the
European Central Financial institution saying it had not authorized a bailout
for Bankia, the No. 4 bank in Spain, and that such a recapitalization could not

in Spain and Greece, Portugal and Italy will spark a recession in Europe and
quite possibly worldwide, thus crimping the demand for oil. "Fears of

minimal, which is acting like a jackhammer on crude charges," Matt Smith,
a commodity analyst at Summit Power Solutions, wrote within a study note
Wednesday.
