NEW YORK, Jan. 23 (UPI) -- The price of crude oil slipped under $96 Wednesday, dropping on the International Monetary Fund's release of a forecast for slower global growth.
Gains in equities and a weak dollar are supporting prices, but the IMF released fresh projections for 2013, which was little changed around the globe from its October prediction -- except in the eurozone, which is now expected to contract slightly this year.
