Select Commodities – Outlook • Crude Oil Drops Below $76 as Weaker U.S. Growth May Cut Demand - Oil was little changed after it dropped below $76 a barrel in New York on speculation weaker growth in the U.S., the world's largest energy consumer, may limit demand. Oil declined to a five-week low yesterday after the Commerce Department said the U.S. economy expanded at a 2.8 percent annual rate in the third quarter, down from a prior estimate of 3.5 percent.
