"Oil up fourth day as stimulus hopes support Reuters -- Oil prices rose a fourth day on Friday on hopes for more stimulus from the U.S. Federal Reserve after data showed U.S. economic growth slowed in the second quarter as expected. Dollar-denominated crude futures saw choppy trading as the euro and dollar .DXY also seesawed, buffeted by comments from European leaders. The euro hit a three-week high, lifted early after French leader Francois Hollande and his German counterpart, Angela Merkel, said they are determined to do all they can to safeguard the single currency.
