Oil steady as U.S. crude inventories fall, but trade tensions weigh

Oil prices held steady on Friday as a fall in U.S. crude inventories to the lowest levels since 2015 supported the market, although Sino-U.S. trade tensions and economic weakness from emerging markets remained a concern.

U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures (CLc1) were at $67.93 per barrel at 0654 GMT, up 16 cent from their last settlement.
