U.S. crude futures drop more than $6


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. crude oil futures fell more than $6 on Monday as U.S. and global equities were battered and the financial turmoil spreading to Europe fueled more concern about slowing global oil demand.

    On the New York Mercantile Exchange at 2:31 p.m. EDT, November crude was down $5.80, or 6.1 percent, at $88.08 a barrel, trading between $87.56 and $92.68. That intraday low was the lowest since $86.24 struck on February 7.
