Oil prices slip on US economic worries, supply risks loom
Crude prices eased Friday as US demand concerns outweighed geopolitical risks. Brent fell 0.2% to $66.17/barrel and WTI 0.5% to $62.06. Rising US stockpiles, weak jobs data, and higher inflation dampened sentiment, while the IEA flagged faster supply growth with OPEC+ boosting output. Ukraine's drone strike on Russia's Primorsk oil hub added fresh uncertainty.
