Oil prices slip as strong dollar, lower Chinese imports offset supply risks

Oil slipped today, extending a sell-off triggered by the U.S. presidential election, as a strong dollar and lower crude imports in China outweighed supply risks from a Trump presidency and output cuts caused by Hurricane Rafael.

Brent crude oil futures fell 3 cents, or 0.04%, to $74.89 a barrel.

U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude lost 7 cents, or 0.1%, to $71.62.
