Crude dropped in New York after the dollar rose against the euro as European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said economic risks remain after the bank cut rates to a record low.

Futures fell 0.5 percent as the dollar reached a one-month high against the common currency. Draghi said there were “downside risks” to the euro-area’s economic outlook. Prices briefly advanced after an Energy Department report showed that U.S. crude supplies fell 4.27 million barrels to 382.9 million last week, the biggest decrease since December.
