International Crude Oil Prices
Brent crude oil prices were little changed in early trading on Friday, but were set to notch their first monthly gain this year as a steep drawdown in oil stocks and OPEC+ plans to cut output outweighed demand fears stemming from rising interest rates, according to Reuters.
Brent crude futures for September delivery fell 19 cents, or 0.3%, to $74.32 at 0015 GMT. The less-traded front month contract , which expires on Friday, was down 12 cents at $74.22.
US West Texas Intermediate crude (WTI) was down 21 cents, or 0.3%, to $69.65.
