(Bloomberg) -- Crude oil fell a second day in New
York after declining equity markets and weak U.S. economic data
weighed on investor confidence.
Oil dropped 2 percent last week as U.S. stock prices fell
for a third week and a report showed the nation's unemployment
rate reached a six-month high in July. Oil slipped from the
record $78.77 a barrel reached on Aug. 1 after a U.S. government
report that day showed fuel stockpiles rose as refineries ran at
the highest rates since August, 2005.
