RTRS: U.S. crude futures slide $2 on dollar rise, China
NEW YORK, Feb 12 (Reuters) - U.S. crude oil futures fell more than $2 on Friday as the dollar rose sharply against the euro and a basket of currencies and the Chinese central bank's move to raise commercial banks' reserve requirements raised concerns the move may curb economic growth.
On the New York Mercantile Exchange at 9:36 a.m. EST (1436 GMT), March crude CLH0 was down $2.02, or 2.68 percent, at $73.26 a barrel, trading from $73.13 to $75.35. (Reporting by Robert Gibbons)
