LONDON - Oil leapt to a record high for a third day, surpassing $93 as Mexico briefly halted one-fifth of its production and the dollar struck new lows, according to Reuters.

U.S. crude hit a high of $93.20 a barrel. Oil prices have soared by more than a third since mid-August as a stand-off between Turkey and Kurdish rebels, dollar weakness, easing interest rates and winter supply fears attracted a fresh wave of investment capital.

Prices rose on Monday after Mexico's state-owned oil company Pemex said it was shutting about 600,000 barrels per day (bpd) of oil output due to bad weather in the Gulf of Mexico.
