Oil prices steady as US jobs report indicates patchy recovery
LONDON (Reuters) -Oil prices were steady on Friday after a U.S. jobs report indicated a patchy recovery amid the pandemic but the demand picture remained bright globally and the aftermath of a U.S. hurricane also checked losses.
Brent crude futures were up 8 cents to $73.11 a barrel at 1415 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were down 5 cents at $69.94 a barrel. Both benchmark oil contracts were largely steady for the week.
