NEW YORK, June 16 (Reuters) - Brent and U.S. crude futures slipped in choppy trading on Thursday, pulling back after an initial bounce on reports showing initial jobless claims fell last week in the United States and May housing starts rose after falling in April.
U.S. crude had been lower and Brent only slightly above unchanged ahead of the reports as concerns about economic growth and the stronger dollar weighed on oil prices.
