Singapore: Oil prices fell on Friday amid growing investor jitters over the global economy, after the European Central Bank (ECB) warned overnight of continued weakness and as fresh data showed Chinese exports and imports slumped last month.
With surging US supply also unsettling markets, international benchmark Brent crude oil futures were at USD 65.83 per barrel at 0358 GMT, down 47 cents, or 0.7 percent from their last close.
