NEW YORK, Oct 3 (Reuters) - U.S. crude futures fell 4 percent on Wednesday as disappointing economic data from China and Europe reinforced concerns about slowing growth, even after data showed U.S. crude stocks fell last week and other supportive U.S. data strengthened the dollar.
U.S. Energy Information Administration data showed U.S. crude stocks fell 482,000 barrels last week, against forecasts stockpiles would be up 1.5 million.
