LONDON: Oil prices fell for a second straight session on Friday as the US dollar soared on the prospect of interest rate hikes in the United States, but they were on track to finish the week little changed and only slightly off multi-year highs.
Brent crude futures were down 60 cents, or 0.8%, at $73.68 a barrel as of 1415 GMT. US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were down 95 cents, or 1.3%, at $71.99 a barrel.
