Crude Oil Falls a Third Day as Slowing Economies May Cut Demand .
Crude oil fell for a third day in New York, trading near $118 a
barrel on concern slowing economic growth in the U.S. and
Europe will curb fuel consumption.
Oil dropped to its lowest level since early May as the services
industries in the U.S. and Europe shrank for a second straight
month in July. China's economy grew at the slowest pace since
2005 in the second quarter and manufacturing in July
contracted for the first time since a survey began in 2005.
Crude oil for September delivery fell as much as $1.07, or
0.9 percent, to $118.10 a barrel in electronic trading on the
New York Mercantile Exchange, and traded at $118.33 at
12:17 p.m. Singapore time. Yesterday, oil fell $2.24, or 1.8
percent, to settle at $119.17 a barrel in New York. Earlier,
it touched $118, the lowest since May 5.
Oil has lost more than $28 since touching a record $147.27 a
barrel in New York on July 11 as unprecedented fuel costs
prompted U.S. consumers to limit spending.
Oil has also fallen as its appeal as an inflation hedge has been
curbed by gains in the dollar against the euro and yen.
The dollar traded near a seven-week high against the euro,
and was near its highest versus the yen in more than a
month. U.S. Federal Reserve policy makers left interest
rates unchanged yesterday amid weak economic growth.
