Oil falls on dollar strength, focus turns to U.S. jobs data


OIL futures inched lower on Friday as a firm dollar weighed on prices ahead of key U.S. jobs data, although benchmarks were headed for a weekly gain on OPEC+'s move to cut production.

Brent crude futures were down 25 cents, or 0.26%, to $94.17 a barrel at 0649 GMT. WTI crude futures were down 25 cents at $88.20 a barrel, after earlier hitting $89.37 per barrel, the highest since Sept. 14.
