Turkey: Oil prices recorded slight changes in early Asian trading on Friday amid reduced concerns about potential disruptions to oil supplies associated with the possibility of a U.S. military strike against Iran. Brent crude fell by three cents, equivalent to 0.05%, reaching $63.73 per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude rose by four cents or 0.07% to $59.22 per barrel.
According to Yemen News Agency, this comes at a time when oil prices came under pressure after the U.S. Energy Information Administration report issued this week, which showed that crude oil and gasoline inventories far exceeded analysts' estimates.
