Oil prices remained below $100 a barrel on Friday as Wall Street set another record and Asian stocks headed for a second consecutive week of strong gains, with markets watching for signs that the Iran war ceasefire expiring next week would be extended.
Brent crude fell 1.1 per cent to $98.31 a barrel and US benchmark crude dropped 1.4 per cent to $89.90, after Donald Trump said the next meeting between the US and Iran could take place over the weekend and suggested he was open to extending the two-week ceasefire beyond its expiry next week.
