US airline stocks continued on a sudden turbulent decline as sectarian violence across Iraq sent crude oil prices to a three-month high.
The price of Brent crude oil, the international standard that many airlines hedge against, jumped 1.9 per cent to $112.14 per barrel while spot jet fuel rose 1.8 per cent to $291.08 a barrel as Kurdish forces said they took control of the key oil city of Kirkuk.

Strategists on Wall Street have pointed to the tension for weakness in the broader market as well, which preceded weaker than expected economic data in the US.
